Farah Chamma Poet Rhyme

Blue Blanket

I sleep beyond its warmth
I envision upon its touch

In this world exists a hell lot of blankets
But this, ineffably, I admire very much

In shades of light blue
My blanket wraps me tight

Its color a deep, tender comfort
Resembling a departing night 

Across the wide distances of cold
I am shielded amid its warm fluff

I begin to sink in skies, as soon as
I lay my head upon its cloudy puff

In this world exists a hell lot of blankets
But this, ineffably, I admire very much

I now yearn to sleep all day
Within its magical, surreal clutch

Carrie Richards December 29, 2008 at 9:00 AM There is something so magical and comforting about this poem. It makes me think of my grandson who has his favorite blanket that travels wherever he goes...when he is tired and sleepy, nothing gives him greater comfort than that softness. Nicely done, Farah. ~ Carrie
