Child Beauty

Chubby cheeks,
with red dumplings,
a chin having,
a deep adorable sink,
with wide blue eyes,
having a naughty twink,
his golden locks,
were soft,
and plenty,
his baby fragrance,
I used to inhale deep,
as in my lap,
he used to sleep,
its only when,
he stirred,
burped,
and crapped,
that his innocent helpless,
beauty,
in fact seeped.

Even then I mumbled,
Child you give me goosebumps. I like that.

    This was a really caring piece, I could really imagine holding the baby and all the marvellous things you describe. I loved the lines:
    "a chin having,
    a deep adorable sink"
    Admittedly you also describe the less desirable aspects which is honest but takes some of the sweetness away but then you claim it all back by showing the power of the love. Great Work x
  • This is really cute. You did a very good job writing this. Keep up yoru good work!!!

    Really enjoyed this poem, the way it so sweetly remembers quiet moments with a child.

    For soem reason the lines

    his golden locks,
    were soft,
    and plenty,
    his baby fragrance,
    I used to inhale deep,

    Really grabbed me.

    Thank you for sharing this with us all.

    Enjoyable to read these lines - they flow well and give us wonderful images of this little fellow. Cute ending when you use the lines you were supposed to in the contest. Think you mean it's, rather than its.

    Oh, It is so true! Sometimes when I see 'lil children I'd like to just lift them up and hug them and kiss their little cheeks and rockaby them. But of course I do not. We're lucky to do that with out own. Your poem made me very happy.
