Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Really like your poem. A baby touch is like no other. They love to hold onto a finger, feel the love of a parent. They know that they are safe within their little world.

I have to say, I love this photo. Tiny baby fingers and toes always make my heart melt. And this 4-8-4 is a joy to read. ...the poetry of things to come. Yes, I can see the years flow by. The writing of expression on each milestone that builds, like a journal, a snap shot of growing life. A great short poem.

Wonderful entry for the 4-8-4 writing prompt contest.

I love the imagery and presentation.
Good luck in the contest.

The author's words are lovely. This short poem flows and connects well.
The artwork is just precious! I pondered on these words and thought
about the author's last line which is thought provoking. The poem flows
and connects well. I enjoyed the read of this poem.

Comment from kiwisteveh
Without the pic this could be a romantic love poem; with it, it becomes something quite different - a mother reflecting on the birth of a child and its implications for the future. That's good - I like poems with alternative interpretations.
Nice presentation and fulfills the prompt well. Good luck.

Thanks so much, Steve. I originally crafted it with the word 'eyes', but saw the photo and changed it to touch... both resonated with me.

First of all, you got your syllable count right. Yay!
Next, your poem was lovely and hinted of a future unlimited.
Finally, the picture you supplied brought the poem to life.
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.

This is a beautifully stated 4-8-4 poem. The text is a great size. The message is tender and sweet. It is also clearly stated. If only all babies were greeted with this much love. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

Lovely flow of sweet words. You could not have found a more perfect photo. Your message promises a lifetime of poetry to come. Lucky baby who will be worshipped with words.
