Notes About The Poem

Lifeline

Line after line of fresh diapers
A daily chore for years
Clotheslines held six dozen each day
Unless weather unclear

Two little ones not potty trained
Now grown and on their own
They hold up a lifeline of love
Since the soft nest they've flown

Such a nice take on the theme, Sara. Reminds one of parent's accounts of how they used 100% cloth diapers for us. Congratulations! Kim

you did excellently with this one, making it more than just about a clothesline. Mine is just for humor. I hope she likes both of our poems!!

G'day Sara... close to a nostalgic poem Sara. Nappies are thrown away these days, but of course true nostalgia is with who the nappies wrapped. Thank you Sara - Lindsay
