Notes About The Poem

The feel of a woman's skin is that of a baby's tenderness, is there anything else that compares?

Woman and Baby

to feel a woman 
to taste her divine flavor 
softens a man's heart 
there is no comparison 
perhaps, a cradle sleeper

Thanks for the read, Harry. I tried my first "Tanka" I'm not sure if this is done correct. But live and learn I guess. Thanks for the kind words...have a nice weekend my friend.
