POEM STARTER

Submitted by Chantel Akrawi

Write a poem where an inanimate object is a metaphor for love.

Blanket

She carried the blanket everywhere

She curled up with it at night

And in storms she held it tight


When she was with her love

She would swadle them up as one

Under the blanket, that she carried everywhere


When she was alone

She would drape it over her shoulders

Cuddling the blanket, that she carried everywhere


Her loves scent lingered on it

From the nights spent together

Wrapped in the blanket, that she carried everywhere


It started falling apart

But she never stopped fixing

And patching, the blanket she carried everywhere


Old and worn

But warm in the cold

was the blanket, that she carried everywhere
