This really spoke to me! I've had 5 miscarriages. I've had dreams about her... Your poem deserves to win, mine sucks lol you're really good. I hope you do win, this is beautiful and made me cry!

    I am sorry about the miscarriages. I know that God is in control and we don't know what might have happened in the little ones' lives had they continued to full term. But they are all with Our Heavenly Father. Thanks for a very sensitive review and contest vote.

I loved it all, but especially this part:
No one understands

a would-be Mother's heart.

Her desire to be a part.

Of that tenderness and

softness of a Little baby's 'feel'

The presence of a little life,

In whom to place her zeal.

Good luck and have a great week

line three you have used a capital "O" was this suppose to be lower case
you chosen words portrays a woman's plight not being the mother she was suppose to be
easy read and flows well

I like your poem and I think it does get at an important longing in some women. It is very much a woman"s poem. It has emotion, drama and poignancy. don

    Sorry for the gender confusion. You certainly have a woman's perspective, much to your credit. don
