What a precious description: "Enamored she was, and rightly so." I remember feeling this way about my son, just watching him sleep all wrapped up, me in wonder at how different my world was with this tiny creature in my life.
Hi, Katie! This was adorable! It was so cute, and of course I loved the way you made it about a child and the connection that the baby had with his mother. It seems like you really summed up the way a new mother would feel after her child was born. I loved the way you tapped into this delicate and unbreakable connection with parent and offspring. I love writing that tells the truth about something invisible, and I think you really did that with this poem. My favorite line of this work is, “Child of her Heart, Affectionately swaddled in Readily placed blue blankets.” It creates the sweetest imagery of the whole poem, in my opinion of course. I also loved how warm and fuzzy it made me feel. It was a happy poem and a great piece of work, and that combination can be a difficult one to find. Great Job, Taylor Denton
