A Poem for adoption

Are poems not like our children/babies?

My undeveloped poem - of tiny weight
like an infant lies drowsy -
waiting to grow.

I've got a soft spot for it.
But as a poor poet
I lack the means to...well...

"A poem for adoption," I wrote on the note.
"Please - someone - take care of it."

Author's Note

I got the idea from Christine Anne Shaw's poem "Destruction." I'd thought about taking some old unfinished poems and giving them away but I lost them when my last laptop went belly-up.

Brilliant. I've never read anything like this before. Whenever I write poems while away from this site, often the ones I don't publish or keep posted for long, are the ones born in my notebook. Where I get too off topic that I have to take the stanza out and write the poem over, but I never blot out that stanza and eventually will go back and write a story to go with it, to help the lines or a stanza become a poem. It's funny, I'm often talking about growth and yet I've never made this comparison. Just brilliant work, well done!

Take care,
