I watch the cloud go by
muting the sun
through the blinds
leaving blue stripes
across the bedsheets

Everything today is
Blue Blue
Times Two

Spring cannot come
nor go quickly enough
because I've found
Summer is bringing
a double gift

Blue bundles of joy

And Great-Auntie IceQueen
will be getting
sweet baby sugars
from little tiny
brand new dressed in
Double Blue
twin boys

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My parents have three daughters, three grand-daughters, and even their dog is a girl! They have one grandson, and we thought he'd never settle down.... but....
Finally for the first time in 27 years, we get boys!!! The ONLY boy in our family, my nephew will be Daddy in August - and he's still in shock LOL

Thanks - we can't wait! I just found out that the Mommy is going to have to be on some bed rest - she had quite a scare, but things are ok now! I'm shopping for baby clothes

hmm... Im not sure what I think of this poem. It was interesting, and I enjoyed it, but perhaps it could be a bit more clear from the begining. It shifted moods abruptly.

Thanks Audrey, for stopping by... it really isn't a great piece of work. Just scribbled excitement/announcement thing with my good news. Yep... "shifted abruptly"... was sitting here, stuck in bed for an entire day, watching clouds form patterns, etc... was soooo bored, and suddenly I got a phone call saying its twins. Yeah, definite mood shift there LOL

Caroline

A baby is always adorable, but a girl is even more in a world of boys.  Congratulations!
