Poem Category: Motherhood

butterfly eggs
leaving the chances
for her generation.

Her eighth month…
stretch marks
along the sea shore.

School soccer ends
the halves of oranges
from their pregnant mums.

Pregnant
the new flowered sheets
for our months ahead.

The baby turns
her super-market trolley
almost full.

Dandelions
their pregnancy
to the whim of the wind.

Window breeze
her pregnancy enjoys
the curtain tickles.

Farm drought
among his other thoughts
his pregnant wife.

Swollen river
the mid-wife visit
just days away.

In her seventh month
the buffeting of school kids
inside the bus.
