The Sky, Our Blanket Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

The Sky, Our Blanket

Rating: 5.0


The sky, our blanket,
puts us to sleep,
drowns our eyes
with darkness
and assigns
the stars and moon
to ligthen our nights.

The sky, our blanket,
greets us with smiles,
opens our eyes
to the new day
and bids the sun
to bathe us
with her loving warmth.

How are you and your writing. I think I have not managed to follow up responses. Now I spend time to review responses from co-poets.

Thanks for your response, Kelvin. It is always nice to be covered by a blanket by a mother.
