* A Happy Moment*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

My poem "Pianist" will be published soon in the Bellowing Ark.

Celebrate with me!


Pianist

Young woman
slender
tall

Delicate fingers
bowing over
keys

Piano sings
giving birth

Blood
bones
bowl of
hip

Multitudes
pouring from
her hands

Though not surprising, from what I've seen of your poetry.

Congratulations. Musical composition or poem -- both
birthing experiences.
.
You're helping push me closer to starting up again. Thank you.

:rofl: One of the suggestions Spelchek has for "Attagirl"
is "adagio".

7. My dear MiddleFingerMom!

Well, I've given birth several times now, by your definition! As well as by the "standard" definition!

I'm waiting patiently (so far, lol) for your work...;-)

I appreciate your very kind words!

"Attagirl" for "adagio"!

I love it!

Thanks, sweetie...

25. "Piano sings giving birth"

. . . as a former OB nurse, I love it!!

That really resonates. Beautiful.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear kimi!

I was a nurse too...but not OB, alas.

However, it was always interesting to me, esp. as I had my children...

Glad to have your input!

Thanks, sweetie...
