Former poet laureate Ted Kooser continues his entertaining column that keeps poetry alive across the country.


In his column 137, Kooser offers a poem with a whimsical look at a pregnant woman. The following is the first stanza of “Superhero Pregnant Woman”:

Her sense of smell is ten times stronger.

And so her husband smells funny;

she rolls away from him in the bed.

She even smells funny to herself,

but cannot roll away from that.

To read the entire poem and Kooser’s introductory comment, please visit Column 137.
