David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Labor of Love

Stand and deliver! this new bundle for your life 
Never you knave, I’m a muse not some midwife 
Bring me warm water, and lots of clean towels 
Did you not hear, I use consonants and vowels 
Too late it’s coming, goodness feels like a tome
Not really, congratulations! it’s a bite size poem

Line Gauthier October 21, 2022 at 3:36 PM love the humour ~ that last line was a delightful surprise David Kavanagh October 21, 2022 at 3:41 PM I couldn’t resist the temptation of delivering up a bite sized poem as the punchline, thank you so much Line, for the placement, cheers David

Christuraj Alex October 21, 2022 at 7:06 AM Indeed, very difficult to deliver. Beautifully written. Congratulations! David Kavanagh October 21, 2022 at 12:16 PM Not too difficult my muse does all the hard work, thanks so much cheers David

Tom Cunningham October 10, 2022 at 4:34 AM Lol, great imagination David, you're now a proud dad of a bite size poem. Tom David Kavanagh October 10, 2022 at 6:27 AM Good to see you back in one piece Tom, I suppose they are our babies, even the dark ones, cheers David

Jenna Logan October 8, 2022 at 10:05 AM LOL David. Sometimes after completing a challenging write, it feels as if I've delivered quadruplets after 30 hours of labor! You have a feisty muse, but I admire her stand. I appreciate your humor. David Kavanagh October 8, 2022 at 11:03 AM Thank you Jenna, you certainly have delivered some epic writes here on the soup, I tend to keep them succinct as I have an expedient muse, would make a terrible midwife, cheers David

L Milton Hankins October 8, 2022 at 8:36 AM Good one, David. I sure hope Line likes it. David Kavanagh October 8, 2022 at 8:51 AM Oh no worries Milton, it’s only some cute fun, I’m sure there will be more worthy entries, cheers David

Sotto Poet October 8, 2022 at 6:47 AM David, this is adorable and really creative. I found myself enjoying every aspect of it, but the fina3rd and 4th verses, in particular, stood out to me. Good luck in the contest. David Kavanagh October 8, 2022 at 6:55 AM Thank you Lasaad, I’m steering clear of the heavy work, and trying to lighten the mood for a few days anyway, so was never going to be a big delivery, again thank you for stopping by, cheers David

Jeff Kyser October 8, 2022 at 5:12 AM Ha, good one David. And don’t worry, if something seems wrong. Just push a bit harder; that’s a dypthong! David Kavanagh October 8, 2022 at 6:10 AM Not a chance Jeff, I’m pushing my luck as it is, with a fickle muse, 6 lines is a big enough package in itself, cheers David
