Take shelter … by Astridetal
It’s safe here,
guarded.
You can cuddle up.
It’s cozy here,
comfortable.
You can be secure.
Nightie-night.
Close your eyes.
You can rest now.
I hope you sleep well,
taking shelter
in the abyss.
This poem was inspired by one of the prompts in Reena’s Xploration Challenge #226. This week, Reena gives us a series of book title suggestions as inspirations for our post. I decided to use the first one as inspiration for this poem. I am also joining dVerse’s OLN, as well as Friday Writings #22. I didn’t quite understand the optional prompt for this week and the part about reusing words to craft a piece that’s of higher quality than the original, feels a bit, well, paradoxical to me. After all, I’m pretty sure I screwed up the original intent of that book title generator quite badly with this poem, but oh well.
