coffee table city

abigfatcanofworms Personal Reflection August 20, 2021 1 Minute

give us today

our doily valley

teacup mountains

flung lace suburbs 

canape houses,

the ruffled mountains

and  slipshod clouds


afternoon tea

for the eyeballs

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms

The way you started this poem with “give us this day” followed by an amazing list of things makes this seem like a prayer. I liked this poem.

  I thought the same thing! I got that prayer vibe from the beginning and I love the imagery.
  
  Congrats on the graduation from draft to published post, Worms!

A lovely painted picture with words. I like the prayer vibe, a prayer for/to Mother Earth.
