Excellent poem!
I Love your view of writing it from the baby's point of view. Keep up the great work.

That's an adorable poem. i love the point of view. great job!

That is such a brilliant poem. Makes me wonder how people can think of abortion, though i know in some circumstances there's little choice.

Love how ur writing from the babies point of view...quiet interesting...keep writing great poem...

I am so happy I stumbled across this one as I was glancing through your back catalogue.
As a parent, this really touched me and reminded me of that exciting time when my wife was pregnant, and each passing week saw us delving into the maternity books to see how the little bmp was developing! It literally took me back to that special time, so thank you for that.
These are just a few of my favourite weeks in your poem:
weeks 15- 20 - ...."just in case they need to know". This stanza had me in stitches.
Weeks 25-30...."I can tell if I'm the right way up or simply upside down." - brilliantly funny again.
And then, of course, the last stanza of weeks 35-39....."In a few hours I'll meet my mum." This left a lump of happiness in my throat.

What's particularly lovely about this poem, Michael, is the fact that the baby is telling the story in the first person which adds a huge amount of humour and (especially) an awful lot of warmth to the piece.

A really lovely write. Take care and all the best

Wow!!! I almost missed this masterpiece from Mr. Darcy too!
This is a great poem Michael. I'm speechless at your talent for writing such great verse!
Magnificent work!
I love exactly the same lines that Ben likes in this poem! A classic write Michael.
