Delivery



Scattered thoughts
Labored breath
Tomorrow looms!

Scattered breath –
Exhausted tears:
Tomorrow arrives!

Hearty cries –
Scattered laughter
Tomorrow breaths!

Scattered love-
Bundle, a warm breath:
Tomorrow overtakes!

Hi Ul, Oooh how I adored this poem! (tomorrow overtakes and the day after that and that and that! haha but we moms know it's worth it)
About that tag... i don't have your email address But I did leave the message in one of my comments. ( although being like one of those menopausal dwarves... maybe I thought i did and didn't actually do it! sorry! ) xo
(thanks so much for all your great comments today! I was so excited to have so many to look at xo)

It was soft--and amazing use and reuse of the words.

I'm not a mommy but I can relate :)

I had the stomach flu last week--one minute fine, the next.....

Thanks for taking the time to truly read my blog

This was very clever, UL! I really enjoyed how you rearranged the words, changing the poem subtly as it progresses.

UL, these are so touching and well done. They touch right at the heart of mothers...I know they do mine.

Having my children was one of the best experiences of my life and you have reminded me of that this day...thank you.

BTW, UL, I have left you something on my site about the Definition of Senryu.

I'm so glad you enjoyed my site and I hope you will try your hand at writing senryu...they are so much fun.
