Haiku- indistinct black

by Paganini Jones






indistinct black white lines -
my first grandchild
sucks her thumb

Author's Note: They went for the first ultrasound scan today and brought back a picture of Abegail Heather, ETA December 6th. We cannot stop smiling. Be glad I don't have the technology, or I'd post the picture as well!

and it's your first poem for her! How special. I wondered where the black was coming from before I read the author note. How exciting. Good stuff! and the middle name, not too shabby, eh,?

Cool Haiku, I dont know why I hadnt thought of that. Ultrasounds are soo amazing :-)

I see what you're saying, and it's lovely- the mystery of line 1, then revealing of what it is, and what she's doing. I only would suggest maybe playing with that first line to not have so many words with first syllable emphasis, which makes the reading less smooth; maybe just "indistinct lines".

the lines may be indistict, but the poem is clear and who will believe it, heavens to Betsy, Pags a granmama? let me congratulate you, lest there be some mistake, you seem much too young at heart for such distinction.
