Moving

What is your favourite
Book
Asks Alice
That's easy Little Cricket
Yours 
I say 
The dogs bark 
And the ceiling moves 
We would like 
To move
I trust you
I say
The gates are closed
The sky is dark
Mother stole 
The powder
You can't blame 
Everything on mother
She says
You are grown now
The birds
Circle overhead
A storm is brewing 
We will hunker 
Down in bed
Wait for tomorrow 
Enjoy our dreams.

  1. Aww sweet Alice "hunkering down" in her bed waiting for tomorrow "to enjoy her dreams" .... this one is for all those who would like to move but must hunker down and wait for another day with hope to enjoy dreams deferred.

  4. It would be good to move with that ceiling, I think, tho I trust the two of you will be comfortable no matter where, as long as you are together. O, yes! Having a bed helps, of course, even under the open sky.

  5. "The gates are closed
    The sky is dark" ........Not a good time to move, rather it's better to wait for another time. In spite of darkness and storm there are books here too. Lovely.

  6. Jae,
    there's no better feeling than staying safely hunkered down indoors, when a storm is looming. Imagination can really be a wonderful escape, during those worrying times...stay safe..
