You really know how to be gentle. This is a very lovely poem. These words you wrote caress me I as read along. In this four stanzas poem, the meaning of each line paints of a calming moment between a mother with her dear youngster. Each stanza has the internal rhyme and pattern rhyme of abab that makes the thought flows well. This poem reminds me of when my twins were born. They were small and I wished they could fall asleep so I could rest. I could have this poem to read then, and that was 13 yrs ago. Nice write.

Very nice Susan, A lovely message here my friend but I stumbled on several lines and respectfully offer a solution for each which you can use or lose or fashion your own.
Steady heartbeats thrum, till asleep
where heartbeats lull you off to sleep
'neath joyful tomorrows, foretold.
beneath tomorrows joy foretold
love's harbor will shelter the storm.
love's harbor shelters from the storm.
Your picture choice is lovely and the presentation nice.
Let me know when you edit and I will re-evaluate. Nancy

Comment from Mustang Patty
Your poem tells a beautiful love story. Is the artwork you've chosen a hummingbird enjoying a blossom?
One of the lines that bothered me, 'Steady heartbeats thrum, till asleep' Do the heartbeats stop when sleep comes? (I sometimes take things too literally.)
The flow and rhythm of the poem is good, and it makes for a pleasant read, thanks for sharing,

"Loves harbor will shelter the storm" what a beautiful way to incorporate the love you have, this one single line gave love it ability to mend and heal all hurts.

A very well-written love lullaby. Lovers will take care of each other and have their partner can be assured to have their best interests at heart. Fight all storms together.

Comment from robyn corum
SJ,
A sweet poem to take the place of that wicked and horrible lullaby we all sing to our babies. Some of the rhymes felt a littttle forced, but I suppose when you're doing the internal rhyme as well, so allowances must be made. *smile*
One note:
1.) shall nether fear, cause single tear,
--> 'nether'? Do you mean 'neither'? Maybe?
Thanks!

Comment from humpwhistle
A tender and moving lullaby.
Excellent use of language. Smooth syntax.
Perhaps meant for a child, but not necessarily.
There's depth within this tenderness.
Peace, Lee
