April 16 – A description that is not

Hello All. Todays prompt was to write a poem of negation, to describe something by what it’s not. After an 11 hour work day, here is my poem.

Sleep I implore you,
The sheets they await
Let me restore you
Curl up for it’s late

These are not your ceilings
This is not your floor
The mirror reflects your feelings
But a keycard opens the door

Inner cupboards always
Starkly bare as bone
The outer narrow hallways
Repetitions of alone

No mail piles the desktop
To testify life happened in
A space fronting a truck stop 
This must be a Brampton Inn

About Meg

Meg travels a lot for work. But sometimes she has time to draw and copy and fold. Favorite drink - TAB, favorite food - Bread, favorite sound - skates on ice.
