I think this short 15-syllable poem tells a poignant story in few words. I liked the rhymes and half rhymes at the end of each line: born, transformed, mourn. It seems those losses are the kinds of events that will always be mourned.

Congratulations on this emotional piece. As a young woman yet to bear children, having a still-born baby is one of my greatest fears. It really is heart-wrenching to imagine the grief that mothers of such infants go through. Good luck with the competition!

Kahpot,
I love your 15 syllable poem. It's so sad when this happens. I've known a few women who had stillborn babies; one got to hold her little girl all morning. Another was never told her child was dead (this was during the 50's) so she went through the delivery with high hopes. Her baby had died two weeks before of asphyxiation.
You capture the somber mourning men experience too.
Beautiful, moving poem.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes,
Cindy

This is a well thought out fifteen syllables poem.
The rhyme is good - born / mourn - and the story set
within such a short space is gripping and sad.
You have written a fine entry for the competition.
Best of luck. ~DD

Oh, that is heart-wrenching. You're so right that parents never recover from losing a child even if they only knew the child for the nine months of gestation. Well expressed in your rhyming triolet! Best wishes in the contest!
