NaPoWriMo--DAY TWENTY EIGHT

NaPoWriMo PROMPT: Today’s (optional) prompt is brought to us by the Emily Dickinson Museum. First, read this brief reminiscence:  Martha Dickinson Bianchi’s description of her aunt Emily’s cozy room, scented with hyacinths and a crackling stove, warmly recalls the setting decades later. Describe a bedroom from your past in a series of descriptive paragraphs or a poem. 

The Best Bedroom Ever

A tent on a sandy beach 

Of the Salmon River. 

Resting on cots. 

No need for covers. 

Night so warm, 

Rain fly is open. 

Screen keeps out bugs 

But lets in the stars. 

A breath of sage 

And evergreen 

Floats on the dark. 

Far from all sound 

But the grumble 

Of rolling water. 

A vision of the day 

Still sighs through the mind.
