The prompt for What's going on is shelter
Shelter
I snuggle up on the couch
whispers drift,
now and than
through the room
We left the noise outside
and locked the door
Sometimes the outside world
finds an entrance,
crawling out of our gadgets
Today we silence them
We let our shelter
fold around us
hug us like a warm
sweater
So very true! Those darned gadgets manage to bring too much of the outside world inside. But, like you, I try to snuggle on the couch with a book and a dog as much as I can threse days. Silence is good!
ReplyDeleteDear Marja, the image and poem are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a homely and warm reflection of your shelter - feels like a lovely place to be - Jae
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful shelter you have. I love the photo, and love even more that your shelter hugs you like a warm sweater.
ReplyDeleteA good shelter can save the day. Locking the door is essential.
ReplyDeleteLindo,Marja e precisamos preservar muito bem esse nosso cantinho de abrigo...
ReplyDeleteLinda poesia! beijos, chica
So true! We just had a new front door installed and that alone cut down on some of the noise. The wind still whistles in the dryer vent though!
ReplyDeleteHelemaal waar: we kunnen onze gadgets het zwijgen opleggen; net zoals de herrie buiten. We hoeven niet altijd 'aan' te staan. Jouw shelter klinkt als een veilige schuilplaats waar het goed toeven is.
ReplyDelete"crawling out of our gadgets"
ReplyDeleteI got a picture of mice or bugs crawling into my apartment! I have to shut them out more often. Such a friendly love of a poem.
Yes, silence them - they bring only fear and anger, lust and greed.
ReplyDeleteSilence those gadgets especially news feeds that bring bad news each day. We need to seek shelter and find joy from the noise outside.
ReplyDeleteWith the door and gadgets locked away, the warm sweater will always work. Beautiful, Marja!
