"Don't You Want Me Baby"
You wanted me to stay
But never did a thing to
Say you wanted meI wanted you to stay
But maybe never gave a
Reason to want me
Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should
Be more circumspect!
There’s plenty of new shiny
But it’s not for you to useIt is possible
You might crash the whole program
Or find a new job elsewhere.

(a sedoka)
Rather than a title, Sharon offered this photo and the poem type “sedoka”. I’ve never written a sedoka before! I quite like the turnaround aspect.
She gazes upon
This tiny creature in arms
Now the center of her worldHer own willing breath
Drawn fast into steady lungs
To soon grow strong to leave her
