Contributor Series 10: Silken Rags
Plumage
By Monica Crumback
first the pain but then
the down, spun sweet
in silken rings
brown as autumn
baby girl, the finest
of my things
Monica Crumback’s most recent poem to appear here was A Treat? (August 2011).
I love this poem, Mom, mostly because it’s about me. It’s also a very sweet poem,like the one about Jesse.
A bird, a child, a perfect rhyme,
a mother’s poem in three-four time.
Beautifully and simply conveys the experience of bringing a child into the world. Monica is an amazing poet!
How sweet.
Ha! I love it!
Well, it’s just what love sounds like to me, really: the birth of my child, set to words.
NO ONE COULD SAY IT BETTER THAN SOPHIE.
