Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Hand

HAND

Nine months by the hand of mother natures clock
Our first born child will finally know and understand
Why I went to such great lengths to land
Her mothers hand  , My beautiful wife , the love of my life
With whom I chose to breed  
Fulfils my every waking need
With you in mind , I chose only the very best to feather your nest
Trust me when I say your mother blew away the Rest
For her affection there never any contest
From the moment of your conception 
You will share in the love which I have been blessed

Debbie Guzzi July 29, 2010 at 3:27 PM I think your wife and child will be thrilled to have the verse for the rest of their lives. I think it's touching! And that's what we poets want to be & do TOUCH folks hearts. (take out the 9 LOL NINE) (duck)

Linda-Marie Sweetheart July 29, 2010 at 2:47 PM Children are such great blessings and responsibilities... they are our trials and triuimphs... this reads a little like rhyme a little like free verse...so maybe list as verse .. a poet needs to know his form... and do u need an 'l' in your last line for blessed? a beautiful expression of your pride in being the Father of a gracious daughter..now take her name and write a poem..and enter it in Constance's contest ...good luck my friend.. with luv..
