Notes About The Poem

September Challenge, Andrea Dietrich, 9/20/2026

Newborn

New skin rubbed all over with baby powder buff.
The scent of an infant, stinky or welcoming.
An exercise of limbs, to pull over or slide on suit.

There are onesies and ruffly dresses, to suit.
A darling curl with brush, freshening cloths to face buff.
In comes the waiting grandmas and aunts, welcoming.

Balloons and banners, mom and dad welcoming.
Now, entwines around her finger; the pur -suit.
The newborn, in initial phase, a bottle buff.

Darling arrived in the buff, welcoming world in her birthday suit.
