Apology to My Unborn by Bassey Ikpi (Def Poetry Jam)

This is my latest Def Poetry Appearance. It's an open letter to my unborn child. And yes, I was really pregnant. I have my son as proof:).

Thank you to Mohannad for providing the video. Check out his response to my other poem.

Bassey, you are the bomb.. beautiful woman and beautiful bump there. I had a miscarriage a few years ago and cannot seem to get past the hurt and this poem makes me think of my little girl and hope she is having fun up in Heaven. thank you for writing something that my heart found so hard to say without trembling and breaking all over again. x

This is so poetic, the fact she is pregnant. I think of my son too, and I haven't a child yet. As a poet myself,she inspired me to write a poem to my unborn son. Beautiful poem
