pesky mosquitoes devour
precious balcony moments
reluctant puppies brought in
early winter dusk
warm broth to gladden tummies
spooned over in bowls of love
snuggled in our laps, they growl
chilly north winds blow
beds and quilts ready for night
cushions to play till sleep strikes
love overpowers tired bones
warmth around the hearth
Creative Experiments and More 
Absolutely lovely poems

Thank you so much, Robbie!
At times we don’t realise how the process of incorporating prompt lines enriches the poem. It is a combination of internal and external factors.

Yes, it can work beautifully. I sometimes find it harder to create using specific prompts like this.
