Window Blind

Prompt from Poetry Jam--Write a blind poem


She sees life 
In stripes
Horizontal divisions
Of dark and light
Reflected on the floor
The round oak table
The dog
It's a zebra world
She wanders in
Her hand turns
The clock
Turns
And the light goes
Out
While the night comes
In

  7. I enjoyed this stripey picture, thanks. *smiles*

    But I didn't enjoy the double word verification - it is SUCH a time waster!
