The Pregnant Woman

(A modern freestyle haiku).

Languishing in
reasonable pains
Nine months labor.
......................................

In the outside
cherishing the inside
An asset in her womb.
......................................

They intermingled
human offspring sprung
their cardboard copy.
.....................................

Womb load
don't lean on fear
you will drop freely.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/18/2011 8:03:00 AM There is a special bond a woman feels with her unborn child and you have described it so well, son. You made your "mum" proud. Beautiful haiku! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
