Sometimes you cant avoid
Contracting this good disease,
It invades the whole body
But gets better by degrees!
Sometimes the hottest fever
Burns an anxious brow
Until the newest creation
Comes to birth somehow.
Yet, oh what great joy
When, at last it comes to life;
So emotional a release that
You can cut the air with a knife.
From the womb of the mind
Those fertile seeds of thought
Grew, and did truly flourish
From nothing, to such import
That, now you are so proud
To be the Father of a child;
A result of inner turmoil
From one so meek and mild.
How pleased you will be
After such sweat and tears,
To look at it time and again
Over many joyful years.

| Great metaphor in comparing actual birth to the creation of a poem or other peice of writing! I like the imagry of creation and life. I think the poem speaks for itself, and therefore does not need the quotes around 'creation' and 'child', but that's only a minor detail. Excellent work! |
