Ready. Set. Go.

The wind blows
cool on the face
of heat flashes
dancing head to toe
-day
  to
    night-

Deep breaths
kiss away nerves
morning after morning
flush after flush
-it shall
    end
        soon-

Heart beats steady
strong as a bass drum
rivers of water flow
dam breaks and
-my heart
      speeds
          up-

Legs wet, ready to go,
my breaths kiss
the labor approaching
as bellow me lays
-a puddle
    of my
        labored
            memories-

I am ready
to
go!

Author notes

For Paper Pirates. My assignment was to write from the point of view of having my water break... obviously that's never happened to me... but I tried. Hope it's okay!

Please tell me what you think

    Meg,

    You did a great job penning this piece. You have quite the imagination to pen a poem from the point of view of a situation you have never experienced. Kudos to you young lady!

    Love
    Auntie Bel

    I can imagine how hard it must have been for you (as for the rest of the paper pirates) to try and live into such a situation that you've never dealt with before
    I honestly think you did quite a good job with this though

    Well done on this piece sweety. A very different subject to write on thats for sure. You have a spelling mistake too

    Legs wet, ready to go,
    my breaths kiss
    the labor approaching
    as bellow me lays
    -a puddle
      of my
    labored
    memories-

    It should be below. Good luck in your group contest.

     

    Keep writing and I will keep reading. ;)

     

    Love Mum

    hmm an interesting poem and though I have absolutely no idea how that would feel you seem to have captured it well.
