newborn child
love overflowing
from cupped hands
This senryū is my response to
Misky’s Twiglet #229 – cupped hands.
I’m also sharing this with Colleen’s #Tanka Tuesday Weekly
#Poetry Challenge No. 228 #Poet’sChoice.
My granddaughter was three days old the first time I held her.
The next time I hold her will be in July, when she will be eight months old.
6 months

Beautiful work, Ken.
My Beloved Sandra’s 2 yr-old great-grand-daughter loves it when I make quarters vanish into thin air, only to find them again behind her ear. We’re lucky guys, I guess.

I just got to hold my now 10 month old granddaughter for the first time (and only the second time I have ever seen her) a couple of weeks ago. It is a happy moment, hearing your grandchild laugh as you are with her in person.
