The Baby’s Coming!
It almost is the day that
the baby’s coming!
I need to change the appointment,
because the baby’s coming!
I haven’t done the laundry either;
the baby’s coming!
Forget the dusting and the scrubbing;
the baby’s coming!
I’ll have to cook that chicken, but
the baby’s coming!
Maybe I’ll get up early to exercise;
did I tell you the baby’s coming?
I’d like to sit and rest to get ready for
the baby’s coming!
I want to tell my daughter that I’m thrilled
her baby’s coming!
And give my son-in-law a hug;
his baby’s coming.
We’ll play with older sister because
the baby’s coming!
It’s just the most wonderful thing that
the baby’s coming!
I’ll tell you more about it after I see
this baby coming!
WooHoo! How exciting for you! I know the feeling well! Can't wait to hear more about the new little member of your family!
ReplyDeleteI like how you changed from 'the' to 'her' and 'his', and the quick tempo of it, to clearly convey the excitement...so that's the critique...now for the little "yippee!" from me....quiet like...I don't want to scare the baby into delaying! So excited for you! Me next!!!
ReplyDeleteYour excitement resonates throughout your beautiful poem. I love the question in the middle. Enjoy the experience! MaryHelen
ReplyDeleteI love this poem!
ReplyDeleteI love your poem's rhythm :). It's alive! It makes me think of Katie Wood Ray's connection between sentence structure and meaning.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you that the baby is coming!!!
