The Perfect Challenge

I have a challenge for y'all.

The reward is I will pick my favorite poems from this challenge to include in my course as inspiration for those who are learning how to write poetry: that means you will have more likes, comments, and views on that poetry (that of course, is if it's okay with you if I use your poetry as an example, totally fine if not.)

The Challenge is as follows;

Write a poem about the perfect day, or morning or evening, or perfect whatever.

Include your senses, such as sight, smell, and taste.

Use words that describe the scene so we can experience the day as you would want to experience it.

Please link your poem below. Here is mine.

I awake to my husband, arm around me

my baby sleeping, nestled close

the weather is dark, clouds rolling in

the rain, hitting the ground forcefully

*

the warmth of the bed keeps me safe

I bury my nose in my daughter's embrace

my husband whispers "i love you"

his voice sleepy, and deep

I finally untangle from my family

the cat follows me to the kitchen

rubbing gently on my legs

*

the windows are open

I see all the rain

the smell of petrichor and coffee

As I sit at the table

and thank God that this is the start of my day
