7 Haiku Poems for Mothers
When a little says a lot
1. Morning Sickness
I don't feel so well
Every morning up it comes
Still, I flush with pride
2. Unwelcome Advances
Why do strangers think
It’s okay to touch me there?
I should call a cop
3. Overdue Haiku
Your room is ready
Your toys and clothes are waiting
How about it, kid?
4. Newborn
What are you thinking?
Are you even thinking yet?
I won’t know for years
5. Mother Mystified
"Brontosaurus, Ma!"
Chubby finger points to toy
Where'd he learn that word?
6. Adolescent Ouchy
Not so long ago
In your eyes, I did no wrong
Now you know better
7. It's Your Turn Now
Won't stop crying, huh?
Sleep when the baby's sleeping
Pick your battles, kid!

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
