Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Flutterfluffing of downy goose rocks tempest princess port-starboard. Bed tiers for bride-to-be. Steep steps of ladder, up t’ward skylight, soared. Twenty tidal wave mattresses. Jacky’s seed sprouts into beanstalk. Ripples of corpulent stitching - siren depths that bruise like bedrock. Schlepping sleep on stone-wet pillows. Won’t Gorgo* make a gorgeous bride? Honeybuzz of beehive tangles. The slip and slide of nightmare ride. The feasible mother-in-law conjured guest into blue-sea room. Testing of oars and humpback whale. Full moon is gold and so is groom. Oh how this royal navigates. She’s the sunrise, light as feather. The salty air will pinch her cheeks. She’s survived balmier weather. 1/21/2021 Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Sponsor: Craig Cornish *Gorgo - Medusa Poem a tribute to fairytale: The Princess and the Pea
