Hypocritical Oath

Not just anyone can kill a baby;
It takes a degree to commit that crime.
The doctor’s conscience will hurt him—maybe,
But the guy on the street will do some time.

In Utero

I know a little lady
Who lives in a very little house.
She sleeps a lot, but when she’s awake,
She moves about, kicking the walls.

Nightlight

A whale made with clay,

Original, free-handed.

Blowhole, eyes, mouth,

Nightlight shines through.

Love laced lullabies

Slats softly keeping rhythm

Cherished rocking hours

Life’s Bellow

a baby cry in its naked truth
held bare by a discerning eye
as life in its soft meaning

Poem by Wendy Norman

It’s warm inside with muted song
My mama purrs this is where you belong
I float and twirl not a care in this world
You dream of me to be unfurled

I cannot see but float and twist
Swooshing waves of fluid to resist
I hear your heart pounding deep
My life depends on this drum beat

Blissful Sound

Loony eyes, jingle

Jives, twirls around,

Head spins round,

Well worth,

Blissful sound

The Day of Fatherhood

the happiness of a day in May
is beyond measure and my say
like adding a fresh page to a book worn
it was the day when my son was born

whitish pink was his color
like a brand new rose flower
bells were ringing in my ears
and eyes swelled with joyful tears

Little One

Little one you were to be
                the symbol of our infinity,
Then you were gone one sad day
                and it ripped my heart away,
Late at night I still think of you
                 and the dreams that never came true,
I think of a love not fulfilled
                  there’s a sting of a pain that will not heal.
