Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

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

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton January 28, 2018 at 3:47 AM 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 Barbara Barry-Nishanian July 16, 2019 at 11:36 PM 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

Silent One January 25, 2018 at 5:51 PM Wow 80.... and still writing so well! Barbara Barry-Nishanian January 25, 2018 at 8:34 PM 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.

Silent One January 24, 2018 at 10:00 AM Awww all the way back in 1973, I wonder how your child has grown.. I was not born till 3 years later..
