Moonlight paints small brown shoulders
breast milk lullaby:
warm ocean of sleep

For my baby and myself:

little hands kneading
legs kicking as he nurses
we wrestle the night

If you’re willing to accept any from a haiku daddy, how ’bout:

Teething Haiku

Saliva cascades
Ears ache; cheeks—both kinds—turn red
Like they did last month

Fever soaks the sheets
Ready to dial the doctor
Wait, he’s just teething

Gums give a warning
Molars party all night long
You make noise complaint

Toothy smile at last
Your first set almost complete
Then they all fall out

I’d like to add number 88 for you, Sarah:

fit, fab, and forty
beautiful kids and hubby
blessings all around

Babe asleep on breast
Sometimes it feels like a test
Go clean or nurture child
