Me sunday scribblings #221 life swap

Fasten me with a safety pin

to the bed while I sleep

so that I may not drift too far

When I walk tie a rope round

my waist so that I don’t get lost

Search for me when I am missing

Remember me when I am gone

Look up in the sky and read the stars

As they spell out my name

  5. A lovely poem. As writers we do tend want to drift away all the time. But are pinned down by the the day to day tasks :)

  6. Pamela, This is beautiful. I saw the first line when I hit your blog this morning to read your POW piece. It caught me with its safety pin. :) I've been blocked a bit, and didn't do this prompt--almost missed this!

    This piece would look amazing on a cross stitch, illustrated and all. It's one of my favorites.
