A Blanket
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Words cover a naked sheet

Bringing it to life.

It was just a cover

Hiding an open life.

 

Seems to have a life

Of its own, now.

Seeing what it has to offer,

It wants to belong.

 

It can never happen,

Cause it's just a blanket

That covers real life,

But not its own.

George,
I love this! What a puzzle and yet something we cling to like a baby with a blank. Very good and thoughtful work. Eileen

There is a profoundness here that I can't quite put my finger on… And that's a good thing.

sometimes even we become that blanket covering the hidden things in life. Excellent work and imagery
