Teach & Talk Tuesday: Katie Mitchell

Guest Post by the cute Katie Mitchell at I Write, Therefore I Am

 Hello fans of Shelly and Chad!  My name is Katie, and I write poetry over at katiespoetry.blogspot.com.  I decided to share a poem that I wrote a few years ago, but have not yet shared on my blog. Most of my poems deal with personal experiences, and this one is no exception. Last week was National Infertility Awareness Week and I decided to share this poem in honor of men and women everywhere who live with this disease. 

Waiting

Am I pregnant

How will I know

Will I appear to have

A mother's glow

Will I have the joy

Of a special spirit inside me?

Day after day

The waiting gets harder

I look to my heart

For the long awaited answer

Will I get pregnant

How will I know

I rely on my heart

To tell me so.

To start things off right I will post a poem of my own

Pink leggings

Punch stained shirt

Chubby toes in white leather sandals

I’m pretty sure that I know who is standing over me

Blocking the glaring sun

Stepping on my hair

And dripping popsicle on my face

(Remember that I'm a poet-in-process, so go easy. Now, I'm excited to read all of your poems)
