Motherhood

By giving birth you've lost much loveliness,
but thou art lovelier now in fullness.


Edited: From hugeness to fullness accdng to sir A.

Gave me pause, I thought this lovely perspective is also applicable to entering the winter season of life; though one loses physical beauty their essence is ... This is an evolved view - mature, loving and precious tribute to a baby beauty belly. I left in 4-22, came back this year, and can't remember if we ever crossed paths but will hopefully remember the good time I had here tonight ... CayCay

You describe motherhood very well in your short poem... This was not really a contest, it was an opportunity to showcase your first poem and I am glad you entered. Thank you.

A little late to welcome you to Soup, but I can say it's nice to have you here, JCB. You have a nice flair. I know many pregnant moms who would be happy to know that there is beauty in their temporary station in life. Well done!

Welcome to Poetry Soup. There is such hugeness with a new baby - and the equipment they take - extra huge. I hope to read more of your poems my friend.
