Newborns are a taste of Heaven on this earth. Pure Angels. This is a wonderfully expressed poetic work for a loved one. I especially liked this: "It snuggles on the bosom giving a faint Smile As it melts a mother's heart with its tiny Charms". A really enjoyable read!

Isaac will be great fun for Christmas this year now that he is a year old.
I enjoyed readings your pantoum about the birth of your grandson and your vivid description for that day. I liked your analogy to the Christ child and his mother. Your repeating lines and rhyme worked very well. Good work merry Christmas,
Janet

Nicely done pantoum. I just wonder why you put capital letters on some words that don't need them. Seems rather random. Examples: Newborn Child, Arms, Smile, Charms, Ever Born, etc. It's distracting and takes away from the experience of reading an otherwise lovely poem.

This was lovely, first try at the pantoum or not. Lovely verse with an easy flow.
This poem was very personal to you and you have shared the emotion, love and feelings with the reader. Nice job. Robin Gilmor

I enjoyed reading your pantoum poem. I think it's very well done. The picture of your daughter and your grandson will remain very special to you all through your life.

As a mother, I can certainly tell you that there is nothing more meaningful than when your child is first laid in your arms after giving birth. Good job on the piece.

If this is your first attempt, I have to congratulate you because I think you have done a splendid job with it - I simply adore this beautiful pantoum. The love simply leaps from each line and the rhyme is spot-on.
