southern comfort

May 28, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner 16 Comments

GBE 2: Blog On, Week 106 – Writing Prompt: Comfort

Chenille bedspread, soft and worn, draped
Over line-dried sheets smelling of summer
Mornings, protect dreams after a day of play in cotton
Fields beyond the chicken coop in wide,
Open spaces offering
Room to
Think and be.

    Brings back memories of clothes lines, long summer days, but we were in town, so no chicken coops!

    Nothing like the smell of bed sheets after they’ve dried on the clothes line.=)
