Snow

Winter is coming 
We are scared 
Too many leaves
To trip over 
And fall 
We have to leave
The room soon
We sip 
The water
The clocks 
Have stopped 
We cry out in our sleep
Deep breaths 
Alice says 
Yes Little Cricket
We will breathe deeply tonight.

  1. This is a lovely poem, Jae, atmospheric and emotional. However, today’s prompt is Prosery, when we write a piece of prose with a maximum of 144 words that includes a given line from a poem. No poetry today, but you are welcome to link your poem up to the next Open Link Night. I’m sorry, but I will have to unlink it today.

  3. Deep breaths, and a steady foot, and all will be well, my friend.
