Quick Change

QUICK CHANGE We’ve shared a lot the two of us The nine months we’ve been one I’ve joggled you and you’ve kicked me But now our visits done. And I wonder as I look at you In one second change my life To know I am your mother And no longer just a wife. Barbara Barry-Nishanian Oct.5, 1973

You are writing beautiful stories, that's what you are doing. Such a special moment that moment when you are alone, holding your baby for the first time, looking into their eyes. I hope your child/children, no matter how old, read your stories. Much Love to you Barbara, Leanne

I just saw you commented. I am so sorry not thanking you before. I have a question, for you and anyone else. You mentioned I wrote STORIES... Can poetry be presented as little stories? What other terms appropriate? Friend doesn't like to read poetry, so say's doesn't want to read

Motherhood inspired..Not still writing...started this past fall. I don't know what to call how I write? Not poetry like you and serious writers. I ramble..don't like term ramblings...You and any others I am open to how to describe my silly and serious stuff.
