Hidden

Behind the looped veil
another universe calls
for recognition.



Written and produced for Day #29 at Writer's Island.

And talking of other universes, here's another kind entirely- the fantasy world of a Friday 55 coupled with a prompt from the Thursday Think Tank at Poet's United, who suggested Monsters!



Monsters can be scary,
or monsters can be fun.
I know which sort I'd rather have -
a friendly, little one!

It’s when I least expect them
they haunt me in the night,
so usually I run away –
would you stay and fight?

If you would, that’d be good.
You can have my bed tonight!

  22. I love the fun little furry cute creatures that pose as monsters. I don't like the ones that stalk us at night. Great poem and the ending made me laugh.

  23. Hey Jinksy, I love your sense of humor.

    I'll be the brave one and fight those monsters, so you can have your bed back!

    Great poem.
