• Haikus Part 9

  

  Four chambers dancing Perfect beats in tiny babe Enwombed miracle Golden rippling sea Dancing swallows enter, flee Harvest must be near “Let me fix your hand” Empty bottle fills my palm “All better now, Mom!” ~ Dr. Alex, 3 Copyright Jonelle Liddell

  Few things so satisfying As a longed for toddler nap After a harried morning Your energy all zapped. Deep breaths in little bodies Hair tousled, snuggled in Tucked under fav’rite blankets Contrast from former din. Copyright Jonelle Liddell

  Pudgy fingers clasp’d Round my thumb in eager grasp Unseen round my heart Lov’d you in my womb Love that grows like waxing moon Fuller day by day Joy flooding the room Laughing, giggling with you two Beaming at your dad Copyright Jonelle Liddell
