A babe in a cradle
With soft mocha skin
Innocently sleeping
Blameless of sin
‘That babe in its cradle,
Consequence of disgrace!’
Blissfully unaware,
Prejudice yet to face
Our babe in her cradle
Result of our ‘crime’
Forbidden liaison
No reason or rhyme
That is excellent Starfish. I was seeing every action in my mind as I was reading, so much detail with little written detail. I loved every word of every line.

Thanks for the comment Starfish.
I like this one. Clear and succinct.
