I found you in a closet curled
and mopping up the dust
Now I've hung you to my bedroom wall
and framed you up in glass
To reminisce my summer youth
Peaks, valleys, gushing streams
And promise of adventure's future
Under snow and leafy green
Although somedays I cannot see
Beyond the sunset of tomorrow
For now I doze beneath your frame
And mountain dreams I borrow
This was written for a prompt by dVerse Poet’s Pub (link below) that I stumbled across today. The prompt was as follows: “So – here’s what I’m asking you to do today. Walk around your house and look at all the things hanging there: on walls, in closets, on your refrigerator door, etc. Pick something that “speaks to you” and use that as the basis for today’s poem.” This was fun! I look forward to more prompts 🙂
