A Sleepless Night

The demon child
screamed through the night
angry and wild
confused with fright
Her teething pain
made her complain
in fear, poor dear

Echoes of the past memories, when
this was a reality.

Oh, I can so relate. Teething is a misery for everyone. Refrigerated carrot sticks was my go to

That poor child. 😢
Your poem made me think of William Blake’s ‘Infant Sorrow’
Thanks for this. I love Mr. Blake. I love your Ha’Sonnets too. xo
