And now a little poetry


I've been wanting for a while to exercise my poetry muscles with this fun monthly writing drill over at The Little Stuff of Life.

This month's theme of cinquain poems seemed least daunting so far. Here's my offering:

Belly
Swollen round
Full of life
About to spring forth
Baby

I should mention I'm up at 4 a.m. with a banana in one hand composing this. I suppose this is preparation for coming attractions -- life with a newborn.
