Toys in the Dark

Bare feet softly sweep the carpet
seeking safe passage
through this minefield of sharpened playthings.

  1. First off, I'm so glad you are doing NaPoWriMo. Second, I think this first entry is great. I first read it as though it was you protecting one of your boys from disaster. On my second read through, I saw you fumbling around in the dark. I love poetry that can be read two ways.

  3. That's why I wear shoes inside! You just never know what kind of sharp object or sticky or wet thing your feet might encounter!
