Restless

Written for dVerse Poets Pub ~ Poetry Form:
Golden Shovel. The line I have chosen can be
seen below. Grace is our host and this is my poem.

I have chosen the following line from ‘Trees’ by Joyce Kilmer:
“Who intimately lives with rain.”

The house is quiet but for you, who
have crept into my side of the bed, intimately
curled, the way only a child lives
so trustingly, your small hand with
its dreaming grip, your breath soft as rain.

Nancy’s Notes: A Golden Shovel poem is created by taking a line(s) from an existing poem and using each word in that line, in order, as the last word of each line in a new poem.

This is “Good Night” by The Beatles
