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.
