Day 672 of the daily poems, the first day of our Found Poems theme, and a foetal scan at twenty weeks. It’s a simple form, this one, made up of the inventive reactions of two youngsters, with a few brief words by our poet John Monach to form the poem.
20 week baby scan
5 and 3 year old comments
Showed kids the scan.
Guesses were:
moon, Australia, rocks,
haunted house,
frog, crocodile, pumpkin,
before we got to
skeleton.
Close enough.
John Monach
