Nestled amongst the twigs of sleep every night
amidst stockpiled straws of stolen sunshine
adorned with knick-knacks of living
my dreams lie cushioned comfortably
ensconced within them is my fledgling poetry
Flapping tenuous wings of a new sprung idea
my verse hesitantly will start its lone flight
never ambitious enough of owning the lofty sky
striving to float free of encumbrances
then happy to home in to hospitable hearts.
Love the take on the prompt!

I like the contrast between nestled and tenuous, the angst, but eh glorious resolution of hospitable hearts seals it.

Lovely imagery, Punam. I think most poems begin tenuously, but I don’t think you have to worry about yours not soaring.
