Sympathic Moon --- Tritina

*Tritina

As midnight comes, moon tiptoes in to wait, to soothe her gently with a tender smile. Expectation is haloed on the wall Moon angles soft light, around every wall, where mobiles dangle, and butterflies wait, to charm baby's eyes, and wrangle her smiles The clocks keep ticking, and the moon must wait. Someone is kicking inside belly's wall. She cringes in pain, ...but then bravely smiles. Dawn waits to smile, ...until she climbs that wall

I knew I was looking at a top winner when I read this and commented before! if I were you, I would be getting a collection together with a view to publishing; I know you've said you put them away for your family, but in my opinion they are just too good not to be shared with a wider audience...I know I keep saying it, I'm like a stuck record (cliche alert!), but you cannot teach what you've got...congrats on yet another top win! :)

carrie, this is exceptional, and would definitely be a top winner with me! I like the unusual angle you've taken and the skilled use of internal rhyme, and I love that line "expectation is haloed on the wall"...I've said it before, I'll say it again: you are a natural born poet with a gift that can't be taught - you've either got it or you haven't! to read your work is a privilege :)

I love the personification of the moon, rather like a first-time grandparent who just can't wait. Well-done best of luck in Craig's challenge.

This is beautiful, Carrie...An expectant mother...I love that the baby hasn't arrived yet, and you take us to how the mother feels her first contractions. Lovely! The moon adds a magical dimension. Sweet
