Nice job, skye. I can see her sleeping, see the perfectly formed lips moving. Thanks for recalling the memories. Good luck.

skye,
Nice haiku with imagery to which most parents can relate. Moms and dads often spend precious time watch baby sleep. Well done and good luck.

Oh the beautiful description of the wonderful little infant. It's so true that those perfect little lips are sucking as they sleep. A wonderful little poem.

infant rosebud mouth
I love this image of youth and innocence suggested by "infant rosebud". There is softness, tenderness in the image of a rosebud yet to bloom.

suckling even in sleep
Beautiful image of a sleeping baby, totally at peace.

I enjoyed this entry. Good luck in the contest.

This contest is my first experience with two line haiku, but near as I can tell you've structured it right, and as far as the concrete image - I think you've nailed the description - what better way to describe those tiny baby lips shaped like a rosebud and sucking even in sleep as the infant dreams of momma's milk :-) This is adorable, Skye. I hope you do well in the contest. I was too cowardly to enter! LOL Brooke

Just when I thought I was starting to understand haikus here is another kind. You have certainly done well with the specifications. I can just see that baby asleap but her mouth still moving in the motions of suckling. Excellent.
