This had to be one of the most heart wrenching feelings of loss and despair in the past of what could have been but did not materialized.
The loss can be profound and the feelings of remorse and regret will haunt for days on end.
Perhaps, tomorrow will be the day the sorrow ends with news of a new pregnancy, smiles.
A woman needs to be healthy and happy in order to conceive. Worries and sadness can upset the period timing and the hormonal balances.
Stay calm and relax and the laws of nature will bring in the off-springs soon enough.
Great write and good luck.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))

    It's not about a pregnancy - I have adult children and grandchildren. It is the children that have chosen to be estranged from me and therefore I no longer get to see my grandchildren and I miss them terribly. Thanks Ritchie for the concern and great review.

excellent alliteration in tiny toes and consonance in candy sticky kisses
I just love boo-boo whimpering
from a rainbow dream to a tornado rhyme - such a bittersweet poem, emotionally-charged and filled with vivid imagery

The opening stanza for this poem really draws the reader in to see what more will transpire. The entire poem is well written and flows freely through its thoughts and phrases. I enjoyed reading the excellent piece of poetic art... John

I love your piece. So descriptive and heartfelt. Using lower case all the way through emphasizes the smallness of self and the hugeness of the loss--almost a humbling in the face of the challenge of acceptance. Second stanza, especially powerful.

This one is hypnotic as I am taken back to those happy days of being a parent and having everything be a new experience for everyone. First steps for my baby boy and for his father. Miss those times. This work sounds like it has a bigger backstory than that. Hope for happy days.

Hi

This is a really good poem about feelings. IMO it would have a lot of impact if you complimented it with some artwork, or a pix of your child/children.

Just a thought, so use or lose - enjoyed it.

Cheers
Keep Smilin'.... Jax

A very positive poem in this feelings contest! It's beautifully expressed in a nice easy flow to the narrative! It is descriptively good, the language you use is articulate and easy to understand! Good one, blessings, Roy.

This is a moving poem. I am assuming that you have suffered the loss of a child or children. You have captured the heartache of separation from your children in the worst way possible. I hope that you can find comfort that these little ones are in the arms of the Savior.
