Howdy, poets. Well, now that Tina and The Madpoet have used my image for their site, it would seem a shame not to post a few of my DeviantArt poems here. So, without further ado....

-----------------------------------

I look down and move my finger
back and forth and back and forth.
He's happy enough.
Something in his mouth always makes him feel loved.
The encircling warmth doesn't hurt either.

Will he like football?
Will he look like me?
Will he have his mother's artistic flair?
Will his name suit him?
I ask him, but he's keeping secrets.

The house is good. The job, not important.
The marriage, a rock I try every day not to take for granted.
The family, my very existence.

But the child.
A taste of immortality.

His eyes are fluttering as he heads to his dreamship.
I'm sure his dream is nothing like mine.
His mother comes over, winking, to put him down.

I am reluctant.

She laughs and points out I've already had my turn.
I agree, both happy and mournful,
For I held her this same way in another dream.
Happy Nappy, grandson.
