Testing Time
Blue lines
equally strong
Don’t think
about yesterday’s
power lunch
raising objections
all through
interminable Extraordinary
Meetings from
Matters Arising
to
Any Other Business
Don’t think
Baby don’t Baby
but two
lines
positive
Think
Many thanks to Helen for this poem about perhaps the biggest change that can happen! I have tried very hard to retain the poem’s formatting, which should read as the silhouette of a pregnant figure. If it fails, the failure is mine!
