Sanctuary

Silent, sunny

Sitting, sleeping, solacing

Sofa-bed, shower-stall, stairs, study

Sharing, shielding, studying,

Seductive, serene

Shelter.

Writer's notes: My S Tautogram inspiration came from this thought Saturday, Sunday staying seashore. The Unsplash picture complements the theme. Do you agree?

This poem is submitted to the Tautogram Challenge. SHELTER is written in a diamante poem format.

What is a Diamante poem? Is a style of poetry consisting of seven lines. The lines form a diamond shape. The first and seventh lines have one word. While in the Synonym Diamante poem, the first line word and seventh line word are the same or similar, in the Antonym Diamante poem the words first line word and the seventh line word are opposites.

Did you notice that lines one four, and seven are all nouns? In lines, two and six two adjectives are used with three verbs are used in lines three and five.

A special shout-out to Denise Lindquist for sharing and introducing me to the poetry style.

Thank you for reading! Love your hearts and comments. You are appreciated!
