Notes About The Poem

 

 

A  "Butterfly"  Cinquain.

Bedtime At Grandma's

Small one
Playing is done
And your bedtime has come.
Wind is moaning
rafters shifting.
Listen.
Inside closets 
ghosts are sniffing.
Dare not move. Dream you fly.
Sun in your eye
Morning. 

Butterfly Cinquain

What a coincidence. So many great places for "Hide and 'seek" Houses seem so much larger when we're kids.(maybe 'cause we were smaller)
