Today’s prompt (see link above) was for a quiet or loud poem. Here’s my free verse:
“Quiet warmth”
The humming of our heater
is loud serving as music
to my ears as I sit in
beautiful silence letting
the humming and warmth carry
me back to the days of cold
and cuddling against my
siblings as we wore winter
coats day and night. My pillow
now is warm and my comforter
as soft as cotton balls. Oh,
I wish I could transport some
warmth and blankets back to
those children shivering in
their beds as a mother cried
silently in the coldest room.
I want to tell the children
they won’t always be cold.
Resounding heater humming
and soft blankets are the truth.
