Weekend Writing Prompt #242

Posted on January 1, 2022 by pensitivity101

Sammi Cox is our host for the Weekend Writing Prompt, which today is Goodnight, and we have 45 words to play with.
Gently falling into peaceful slumber,
Opening doors to dreams
Out of harms way.
Drawn into darkness,
Noticeably quiet, at rest,
Interred in the cushion of sleep
Gladly escaping the frustrations of the day.
Heart beats regular and hypnotic,
Therapeutic in its rhythm of the night.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
