allpoetry contest prompt: as time settled against itself
sun poured out
dregs of summer sauce
and heavy lidded
heavy limbed
I watch it cease
the moment stretched
and curled up
on the grass
tiny pink tongue preened
as time settled against itself
softly purring
Beautifully drawn..I could see a gorgeous little kitten of time napping in the warmth of the moment..Jae
thank you Jae 🙂
Loved this! But now I need to find a warm puddle of sun just for me…
Hope you found a nice puddle to cease labor and purr in the warmth 🙂
Love the metaphor, the “summer sauce,” the languor.
Writing it felt exactly how it sounds…
