Baby Buddha
Swirls of barely-there silky hair, doughy thighs, pillow-fat feet kicking my arm.
Contented gurgles, milk-dripping mouth sucking noisily at my breast.
Slobbery, wide open mouth kisses, smack on my lips like strawberry Bubble-Yum.
Moist, sticky, tickle-begging fat rolls, jiggle-giggling under my fingers.
Warm soft breath, pausing heart-breakingly for a moment in slumber, then flowing on, setting my mind at rest.

A babeeeee poem!
What a descriptive picture of your little one! I can see and smell and REMEMBER all things "baby". GREAT job of bringing me into your perspective :).
And...if I were still nursing? I'm afraid my milk would've just let down!
ha!
Wow that was a great poem! Very very nice thanx for posting it.
Keep up the great work..
doughy thighs... me, too ha ha ha.
what a sweet sweet poem.
Oh, I can just see this baby and hear it too! This was so precious!! This was different and unique. I don't think there was a baby one on the roster before yours. Glad I came by.
Thanks, you guys, for all your kind words. I used to write a lot before kids, but it's nice to get out the old thinking cap and rev up the creative juices again...
I smiled as I began reading! This is the most beautiful part of motherhood right here. You captured it so beautifully I have tears in my eyes!!! Probably the favorite one I've read thus far!
I love this one - you and I had the same inspiration for our Pensieves, but I think you pulled yours off better.
That was beautiful! Made me all clucky.
Wow, very nicely done! Thanks for sharing.
Liked your poem very much, Lisi.
Love,
Mom
