November Project: Day 14

[calissa]

As many of you may know, my nephew was born today. I wrote most of this while waiting to visit.

A special thank you to alee_girl for introducing me to etheree poems.


Wake
to a
message tone
at one a.m.
with expected news:
a baby boy is here!
Welcoming a new member
To the family is a first--
not just for his parents, but for me;
all of us learning and awed together.

So glad to have turned someone else on to the wonderful fun that is the etheree.

<3 your poem. What a wonderful way to commemorate a birth.

Glad to have been able to provide it. I need to go explore some of the other forms myself.
