Road Map To Motherhood

very well said...:-)

Aww thanks miki :)

I love this poem Rachel, maybe you know why. :)

Like the way you composed it letting the readers eye fall down the words.
Good words!

I know why, and because of that I am so glad that you loved it. :)

pregnant ladies are cute and I like your poem rachel cute also :)

Thank you Paul...always a pleasure. :)

Very hard for me to read. from a personal level. but otherwise, a touching poem about the joys of motherhood.

Great job.

Miss_Sub, I am a fan of your work, so that means a lot...thank you for reading and commenting. :)

The language and structure are beyond reproach.

reminders of
a heartbeat
a hiccup
a kick

one for every
worry
breath
finger
toe

great stuff!

I watched my kids being born, and I enjoyed the first one so much that i went around the wards to watch more :D jk

I get that some women are self conscious about , birthing lines (or whatever you call them).

Fact is though, I think blokes or fathers anyway
appreciate them for exactly what you have said above.

great write on a tricky enough subject.

:D :D :D

Eamon, I always love when you grace my pages with your words. I always somehow feel justified in my writings when I know that you like it. :) Thanks again.

I have always called them Love Marks.... Love this so much Rachel.... =)

Yes, definitely love marks. :)

Thank you so much for the comment and the add. I am so glad that you love it. ;)

Left me all smiles,
beautiful to say the least.

I am thrilled that it left you smiling. Thank you for the add and the comment. :)

LOVE it!!!!! So well written. I love that the structure and the way the lines drop so delicate. I feel this too, and words are failing me in complimenting you properly.

Thank you Starlight! I don't think your words failed you at all...it's a great compliment.

Rachel

You are quite a tearjerker, aren't you lady?
I read one poem, my admiration and respect for you shoots up like a rocket from the cape carnival.:)

I am glad I started reading you. You are an enigma. A beautiful soul, no doubt. And quite the poetess. [Remarkable this, and many others, I am sure.]

I have nothing to say, except feels funny to cry reading about women's pregnancy. [Damn! And They say men are tough! Ha!]

One suggestion: Get rid of the Capitalization.
Add a full stop in the end. That's the final frontier, you know. Nothing goes beyond the magick of those words spoken by a soul unadulterated by the filth of the world. JMHO.

Bravo. I love the fact that you bring out occupational jargon to poetic use [not many
people know 'solar plexus']:)

In awe and reverence,

Sumeet

Sumeet, I adore your comments. They are so well thought out, and it's obvious you take your time with what you read.

I will get rid of the caps and I like the sentiment of a full stop at the end, a poem in its meaning, almost.

I am glad you started reading me as well, you have been very helpful. And I am glad I am able to touch your soul and remind you even tough guys have tears :)

I'm also glad I started reading you as well. I know you are a "tough guy" but you write so gracefully.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving such great feedback.

Okay. They are not thought out. There is not much point in thinking. Orwell predicted that thinking would be a crime. prose could be analytical. but poetry springs from the heart. hence it has to read from the heart and then the reaction comes from the heart. instantaneous. spontaneous. it would be a shame to spend time on thinking of what to think cause what you say basically has a link to thoughts.

moving on, yes a full stop will add a lot of weight. i have done so in recent times and it has been effective.

who says i am a tough guy? if you make all men stand for a tough guy contest, dont be surprised to see me playing with kids from the neighbourhood. i believe 'tough guy' is a myth and men are a billion times more emotional and fragile than they show.

graceful is a compliment i will greedily accept.:)

look forward to spend more time. reading.

What I mean is they appear thought out. It was meant as a compliment. Not everyone can speak as freely from the heart as you. Things tend to get lost in the translation.

I guess I was reading into this "I have nothing to say, except feels funny to cry reading about women's pregnancy. [Damn! And They say men are tough! Ha!]"

I stand corrected.

Indeed, marks of love I find beautiful... nothing compares to bringing life into this world. We men don't get that privilege (or pain, thankfully :P).

I see them as a living photo album.
