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 Charonnet Poetry Contest Sponsored by: charles messina September 2, 2020

Hi Regina, I really enjoyed this poem. Unfortunately the format was a little off or this would have placed higher. Anyway, congratulations on your placement! Hope all is well my dear friend. Hugs Charlie
