Regina Mcintosh Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Motherhood

I smiled when the cow had a calf
She was so alive with pleasure
Pregnant for a year and a half
She had the babe at her leisure

For months, she imagined her child
Would it be charming, oh so mild
Or could be full of rebellion
Such a wild and willful hellion

When the cow had a calf, I smiled
So alive with pleasure, she was
For a year and a half, pregnant
At her leisure, she had the babe

It sucked her dry through the night
Keeping her thrilled with her plight
