Once conceived
Twice revealed
Three months of expectant bliss.
The quarter moon waxes
As five-pointed stars dance —
Six times sixty twinkling kisses.
A little past the hour of seven
On the eighth day of May,
Nine months of wait has come to this day.
Beautifully executed, P're. The words are poignant as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, P're. I caught the words at the right time; albeit short, this snippet of verse came out without too much labor (no pun intended).
