Summer Baby Steps

Jack O'Lantern, Pumpkin Pie
The sun sinks in the western sky
Lovers whisper low

Ebenezer, time goes by
Santa Claus, reindeers fly
Someone starts to grow

Flowers bloom, bees make honey
Chocolate egg, Easter bunny
New room to adorn

The sun rises in the sky
New birds whistle, sing and fly  
Summer baby born

Love this. The meter and patterning of it. So cute. I thought it was the seasons leading up to babys first steps but now I am thinking baby was conceived in autumn and born in summer? It reads like a really cool form

Thanks, glad you like it! Yes, my concept was the latter, conceived in Autumn and born in Summer. Yep, the title is ambiguous. It could be Summer Baby...Steps or Summer...Baby Steps. I guess most people would read, "Summer...Baby Steps" before reading the poem and then maybe "Summer Baby...steps" after reading it. It's like a manual to teach the steps on how to have a summer baby. You need to start in Fall, and well, I don't really need to tell you what you have to do...lol.
