| A glimpse of Sharjah Corniche after sunset! |
The city lights dimmed as winter swelled,
the nights grew longer,
a waft of salty smell
from the sea spread as the southern winds
were stronger !
She snuggled in her bed
inhalers in her pocket,
fiddling with her locket.

| This is my effort to make a Herrick's Stanza for Imaginary Garden With Real Toads at Play It Again where we can do a past challenge and I did the Sunday Mini Challenge I hadn't tried before!! |
A cup of hot coffee, a storybook in hand,
a soothing calm memory of him.
Her thoughts were random
but full of his curious whim...
she read
the same text till she slept on his bed,
calm and serene
in his silent dreams...
This sounds like such a cozy get away, both physically and mentally...lovely work on the form!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank u its my first take on this form!!
DeleteIt left me feeling snug and comforted too.
ReplyDeletethanx for passing by :)
DeleteVery nice - reminds me in mood of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia too.
ReplyDeleteThat second stanza indicates a solitude only a big city can give. Only in the prescience of many sleeping souls can you feel yourself.
ReplyDeletetrue after a long day of hustle bustle can only one realise the comfort of a warm bed!!
DeleteI like that tinge of sadness....of missing someone..lovely write
ReplyDeleteevery now and then!!
Deletethe "inhalers" line suggests something other than comfort to me... pining? interesting.
ReplyDeleteI always hav my inhaler around in winter... so mayb thats what... :)
DeleteA beautiful getaway in thought and words....yet like Marian I feel there is a bit of pain...lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteThank you susie...
DeleteYou mentioned that you were unsure whether you had remained true to form - unfortunately the position of your picture has pushed the text to the side where your line breaks become unclear.
ReplyDeleteThe subject of your poem seems very personal and yet is one we may relate to.
Actually kerry theline break is quite clear on the laptop but in mobile devices I realised the picture does distort it... but thank u
DeletePretty sensuous writing today Arushi. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she could feel the texture of his sheets? This was exciting!
..
Oh :)
DeleteA moment made lovely by temperament and safety.
ReplyDeleteYes susan rightly put...
DeleteI like that ending, there is calmness & soothing warmth, a contrast to swelling winter outside ~
ReplyDeleteThank u Heaven... what a beautiful name yu have
