Early April

Afternoon sun
toasty warm
basking in beams of light
a newborn wrapped in a quilt 
clearest of clear blue skies
flawless brush strokes
not even a slip of a cloud...
as the sun dips toward the horizon
a cry escapes baby's lips
I can see her breath

How peacefully domestic, with the quilt and clear sky - then the turn on the baby's breath - very layered write, gw!

Thanks for the love on this imagism piece. I did try to spread it pretty thick. Best always, Gershon

A beautiful slice of life; I feel the sun and see the baby.

But did you hear the baby cry?! LOL. Thanks, Caren
