3www writing promp, t-shirt, unravel, punch

this one was kind of hard, i'm really trying to stretch myself.



the world around me
has begun to unravel
into heaps of snow
covered emotions
from a heart only
covered by the thread
of a t-shirt--bare
the seams worn
from the years.
there's blooming
in the distance,
as the warm sun
rises, it will wake
me with a punch
to be alive...again.

I like the hope at the end. It's always good to have something to look forward to.

WOW. The first half was really lovely and the second had real life to it. Hope. A new start.

Love it.

The way this poem reads reminds me of winter - at the end wonderfully punctuated by spring! I am stretching for that time of year myself.
