Happy Haiga Day!

My friend Pamela Ross wrote, upon the announcement of my new grandchild, "I think this moment deserves a...poem."

So, despite the fact that I had another haiku ready to go for today (come back next Sunday), and despite this one being pure metaphor (a no-no in haiku), here's a poem in response to Pamela and in honor of Owen--new to the world on June 3.

    Oh!
    I did a mitzvah.
    A good deed, indeed.
    The only thing more beautiful than his new baby feet
    Is his grandmother's new baby ode.
    I'm glad i gave you a little incentive.
    Feeling proud to help birth -this- baby. (())

      The operative word here is NUDGE. Say the word with a little yiddish accent and you will hear what my kids call me all the time. A nudge! (Note to My Future Grandchildren: I do it all for love!) ;>

      Thanks, Margaret. He has cute little feet at the end of scrawny chicken legs!
