Laura Leiser Poet Senryu

Feather Pillows

down feather pillows

                                        I bask in the luxury

                                       'til sharp quills stab me

John Lawless July 16, 2015 at 6:52 AM A sneery with a subtly hidden metaphor. Could that be the "sharp quill" of the muse "stabbing" you.....TO WRITE....WELL DONE.
