Lin Lane Poet Limerick

Without an Ivory Moon

Poetry Wheel Challenge:

Theme: Night
Emotion: Calm
Color: Ivory
Season: Spring
Form: Limerick
Object: Wallpaper
Verb: Hiss

Created using the PoetrySoup Poetry Wheel.

Last Spring, something hissed inside my bedroom 
With no ivory moon, I felt the gloom
I tried to stay real calm 
Even read Book of Psalms 
But eyes on the wallpaper meant my doom
