I liked it. First off, you need to fix the flow. You started shaky and stayed shaky. Also try to work on grammar and punctuation. It will help. After that, I liked it. Thanks for writing. Hope you enjoy my poetry. _the nickster_

Perhaps the answer to persuade sensible behaviour with all of the pregnant women who choose this route would be for them to be blood tested during their pregnancies and if it is found that they have accessive amounts of alcohol in their system then the social services could be allerted about this form of abuse and when the child is born the baby might well go in to care for adoption, this would be indeed a grave step but the child's best interest should be served nevertheless.
The mother could be made aware of this final sanction if she doesn't mend her ways, tobbacco tests should also be conducted in this and future treatment in the nhs might also be put up for discussion by banning people who abuse themselves.

Ita not only their dereliction of the state of expectant motherhood , they betray but everything thta nature provides for the unborne .
They are carrying out a kind of euthanasia programme in their wombs.
I feel very strongly about this and I am glad that you've given it this very articulate expression.
Maybe if more poets like you taught them how we as asociety bestow our hopes for the future in their blessed bodies which they insist in defiling during pregnancy - and maybe they could see the revulsion of society at their selfish habits.
Well Done
Its quite beautifully written

hi! b. a very hard-hitting poem. u r right that no alcohol, drugs os smoke should be done by expectant moms. but r these club/bar frequenters concerned about the child. as u say, it is a mere inconvenience. i dread to think of what becomes of such children, once they land in this world.

this poem is insightful and a picture of reality that is sadly increasing around us. keep up this effort. lol. ;-)

Don't understand Nicholas Watson's criticism of this poem! It is well written has a lovely rhythm to it and coveys it's message well - what else could we ask for? It is strong not in the least shaky!

I applaud this piece! What a great job you did to describe what so many girls are doing with their bodies and lives today. You turn on the t.v. and there's another girl out there saying she wants a baby. Babies are not like playing "house" at all.

I was extremely careful (didn't drink, smoke, do any drugs) while I was pregnant with my son and he has autism. I desperately wanted to have a little girl of my own, but couldn't due to unforeseen circumstances. I know I could have adopted a baby girl, but didn't. I know understand...God only gives you what you can handle at that time in your life.

I hate to see these young kids out there who wind up unhappy because of poor choices they have made. They not only destroy their own lives, but their precious childrens' lives as well. That breaks my heart.
