The First 30: Day 30

It is hard to believe that Day 30 is here… it has been the most amazing time in our lives and writing these poems has been a real thrill, so thank you to everyone who has been following. There will no doubt be many more poems inspired by T.H.E. Nunn, but for now, let’s add the finishing touches to this series:

Day 30

fireworks that burst
the dark sky, show
their colours so briefly

our love is more
like Sirius, embering —
fierce until the end

  2. wonderful and memorable experience, thanks!

  3. And a wonderful ending to your series (not that it will ever really end). Thankyou for the small entre into such a great time for your family. That 30 days went quickly (but quicker for you I am sure – haha).

  4. I’ve loved this series of poems and am certain that he will inspire even more in time… as he reaches all those developmental landmarks (e.g. first word…which no doubt will be “poet”) ….best wishes.

  5. a firework to complete those first 30 days and to start the rest of a wonderful way ahead…thanks for allowing us a glimpse into this getting-to-know phase with your little one

  6. Beautiful and inspiring series Graham. Thank you, and thankyou T.H.E.

    Congratulations on so amazingly fulfilling the writing concept and congratulations for making it through the thrill (and the sleeplessness) of that first month with your son, all with such joy and grace.
