This was written in a response to a challenge in my writers’ group to write a poem about ‘changes’.
9 MONTHS
At first
the change
is imperceptible
A liking for something
you never liked before
Then the first flicker
Did you imagine it?
It feels like the flutter of
a butterfly wing
The clothes you wore
no longer fit
and strangers
pat
your stomach
like they own it
Then
out of the blue
one day
the first kick
takes your breath away
What a surprise
Your body is changing
before your eyes.

Hi Andrea
I gave this top marks! Lovely idea and I am pleased Ian was able to show the shape of the poem on the website.
See you later.
Best wishes,
Mike
