Loss

I.
First winter snowflake
falls on baby's eyelid and--

blink.

II.
Spring rains bring worms too late
for fallen baby robins--
no longer hungry

III.
Emptied by the sun
as he sweats in the sandbox,
Kyle's lemonade.

IV.
Wind steals an autumn leaf
from baby's curious hands--
She trips desperately after.

For what you say and how you mean it, I believe the flow is absolutely perfect, it comes across well as opportunities are whisped away by the moment, thanks for writing this. :)

Wow, a baby's perspective; so many people try to express the adult side of them. Excellent, keep up the creative writing.
