Milk Flows

took them to the breast fed them with love…tenderness joy in triplicate they won’t remember kindness so private and personal with kids of their own milk flows to their very bones bare naked to wise a grown woman’s pure pleasure and a husband’s jealousy

I never had children of my own so I'm not familiar with the beautiful experience you've shared in your poem. Hugs for your evening, Sara

I never thought I would breastfeed. It was actually a guy in the Navy who said something and I investigated. Many have trouble with milk flow. Glad you have a precious jewel to love. Blessing, dear one!

Interesting two tankas here... especially the last one.. the husband is jealous of the mum and children bond?

They can be jealous that they too can’t share the mammary bottle though they get over it as they don’t need to get up in the middle of the night. Of course, just a generalization. Breastfeeding moms do enjoy a time of great bonding during that time. Blessings :) All perspectives to ponder, dear one.
