fearing death we live not life
content living in limitation
but if love be the midwife
with bliss begins our flirtation

Premium Member Baby Dropped Six Feet On Ground

Your baby dropped six foot to the ground?
Head first with no midwife around?
She nodded her head.
More than enough said.
Her new baby giraffe was easily found

Call the Midwife

T’was her ninth month and early summer,
My wife said she’d heard nothing dumber,
After she had spoken,
Her water had broken...
And me ringing up for a plumber.

She Forgot Her Stomach At the Counter

She went to maternity,
and came back without stomach
at the door way she shouted;
“Oh, where is my stomach?
I think I left it at the counter,
with that fat midwife.”


Milly

There was a young midwife called Milly.
      She acted a bit like a filly.
        When dad left elated
       and mum was sedated,
  Milly played with the doctor's willy.

Premium Member What Is A Mother's Love? - CM


A mother's love, wings of a dove, will cover me.
Starting my life, with a midwife, a baby cries.
Growing older, always for me, loving shoulder.
Life without you, I cry daily, so very blue.

Thoughts Written: by Tom Wright January 2015 Thoughts Coming to light today Weigh heavily, On tomorrows outcome And are short lived, For the midwife has scarcely departed Before they’ve sprouted legs Or became forgotten.

The Spider : Midwife To the Afterlife

My web’s a lonely place to be
For no one likes to visit me

No one who comes here wants to stay
Yet neither will they go away

I really can’t imagine why
A friend (for life) will pass me by

Unless, of course, it’s indiscreet
That everyone I meet … I eat

Premium Member Call the Midwife

The vicar surveyed her wide girth Was scared that in church she’d give birth He raised his eyebrows Then rushed through their vows ... He wasn’t adept at childbirth! Inspired by the poem ‘Decision Needed’ by Maurice Rigoler 13TH April 2016

Anger and Hate

The pain that one feels,
For no gain doth anger bring,
But hate that cometh from within,
Burns like a witch at the stake,
Suffocates like a hanged man on a noose,
Back stabs you with a blunt knife,
Like uncertain delivery from a drunken midwife,
Love and hate both have pain and strife,
But only one brings forth life.

The Amateur

In a perpetual state of curiosity,
I am the lover—the amator,
consumed by the pursuit,
never arriving as the station's master.

Reshaped by the objects of affection—
endlessly revealing itself
with fresh eyes.

To be possessed by a god.

I am the midwife of ideas,
so come sit with me
and be courted every day.

Premium Member Midwife Crisis




I’m summoned to a baby shower The mum to be’s flustered and dour As her waters just broke In front of shocked folk Her baby arrived in an hour I cleaned up mum and baby Ted And lifted Ted above my head No diaper, I'm cursed He piddles, - nowt's worst No wonder my face turned bright red

Premium Member Mask

A robbers wears a mask just to hide their face. 

You wear a mask to stop infection in a crowded place. 

A surgeon wears a mask when he opens you with a knife. 

A midwife wears a mask when she brings a new life.

A person wears a mask to hid and cover pain. 

All these people wear a mask but you see not all masks 
Are the same.

Premium Member Labor of Love

Stand and deliver! this new bundle for your life 
Never you knave, I’m a muse not some midwife 
Bring me warm water, and lots of clean towels 
Did you not hear, I use consonants and vowels 
Too late it’s coming, goodness feels like a tome
Not really, congratulations! it’s a bite size poem

Hard Crossing

Where is that daunting monster Boogie man in life’s shadow Master mentor and concierge Whose touch I’ve come to know To you I’ll waste no breath Beauty is not long and septic My daunting docent of death Midwife to misery, work quick What small dignities remain Strung of vomiting seconds Cultures a pearl of great pain To ferry a man of no direction

Premium Member Dharma Identity

Every day is a test, every day a battle
in how you come to terms with 
who you are
not
who you would like to be.

Trapped in your job, trapped in your life
you have to come to terms with
what you can do
instead of 
what you want to do.

Fixed in your role, stuck in your part
as warrior, thief or midwife
you have to come to terms with
doing it perfectly
instead of
arguing with the director.

A Cat's Midwife

Knuckles deep in a cat.
The spongy flesh pulses around my fingers
Each time I move inside.

Her stomach undulates
As if it was alive.
Wait-- it is.
I am trembling.

Her pained meows
Offset by the mewlings
Heard from within her.

The first head pokes out,
Slick and red
Staining the scratchy towel underneath.
Then more, four in all,
Pawing clueless about on the reddened fabric.
Their eyes still shut, yet they see the world.

Premium Member In the Dark Silent Night

In the dark silent night the loudest sound
is your soft voice absent from the landscape 
of being and the way you painted life, 
as if I could see stars from above bound
in light of your presence; why the reshape?
Reality becomes chaotic strife. 

Dark silent night is a desperate void
nurturing nightmares to feed the midwife,
mistress of monsters reaping the brainscape~
against such horror there is no toxoid,
no path-finding fife.

Premium Member It's A Girl

It's the happiest time in a man's life when he becomes a father for the first time. 
Quote by poet. 


My wife's said "It's time", so we got in the car and headed for the hospital. She was booked in, and I sat patiently in the waiting room feeling anxious. About an hour later one of the nurses took me down to the delivery suite, after ten minutes anxiety turned to joy when the midwife said, "It's a girl".

Questionary of Blankness

Before entering this world 
we transform our soul 

The gramophone 
plays songs 
of mutilated destination 

midwife of Death 
hatched her eggs 
Breeding a dark 
Questionary of Blankness

Lament to 
  Humanity 
where art thou? 

Does the corset suit you? 
Can it show the shape of Love? 

Do you read your own obituaries 
remembering the scent 
you bore? 

Have you ever been 
a child? 

Remember the Sun 
bears 
stigma 
of starlight

Questionaire of Blankness

Midwife's Love

The story is about someone's life,
Written by pen and not a penknife,
Telling of a cool guy with no wife,
Who was brought up by a midwife.

Even though she wasn't his mom,
She struggled for him to transform,
By helping him to get past the storm,
Even at times when he didn't perform.

The midwife didn't treat him like a fream,
By throwing him away as if he was a heam,
All she wanted was him to achieve his dream,
So she raised him as her own and made him gleam.
