Wednesday #Poetry: Bump, Knuckle, Transfix

Welcome to my regular Wednesday poetry corner, brought to you by Three Word Wednesday and One Shot Wednesday.

Today's words are Bump, Knuckle, Transfix.

From belly bump I felt you grow
With thrashing and kicks to and fro.
You suckle your knuckle
And make my knees buckle
Dear child, how you transfix me so!















By the way, special Happy Anniversary congratulations to One Shot Wednesday, which today celebrates one year of bringing more poetry into the world. Keep up the good work, guys!

    That was really sweet. Brought a smile to my face. :) I agree with your statement on Twitter, though. Back to the murder and mayhem!

    Thanks for reading, everyone. I usually go for funny or topical, but as soon as I saw the word "bump" for 3WW, that was it. 8-)
