The Unborn Comments

Life is a burden and we should all think carefully before bringing new life to this often miserable existence where the newspaper tells of all the gloom each morning.

Brilliant poem being chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Modern Poem Of The Day, hooray! TOP Marks 5 Stars. Enjoyed reading this fantastic poem!

It reflects the societal and cultural pressures women face regarding motherhood and the complexities of reproductive choices, making it relevant to the period in which it was written.(time-bound)

A timeless poem with compelling images. Brilliantly expressed.

Very powerful poem with a meaningful message. The closure lines strike like arrows hitting the very heart of a reader.

This poem was published on ph on January 13,2003. Years before I ever heard of PoemHunter! Still live. Bri digs it out for us. Thank you Bri Edwards. You have been doing yeomen service to poetry! Congratulations

A brilliant write. Poetry of high standards.

With all the contraception devices easily available, why conceive at all, when both the parents are not ready for her/him? Here, in my messages, I deliberately avoided using "it" because every baby right from day one of conception, is an individual HUMAN BEING. she/he can not be an "it".

Abortion is definitely a sin against humanity, whether anti-Christian or not. Every baby conceived has his/her right to be born and then lead a decent life and graduate into adulthood. No one can be allowed to terminate him/her.

i love this poem....feel I've been there with the same feeling And sometimes, like tonight, by some black Second sight I can feel just one of them Standing on the edge of a cliff by the sea In the dark, stretching its arms out Desperately to me. .... and our arms seem too short.... to reach out to catch the hand held with hope... just a little too short..

Amazing poem. I love it and am adding it to my favorite poems list. Will read more of your poems, Sharon.
