S is for… Soporific
~ by Laurel Regan

(Pssst… new here? Welcome to Alphabet Salad! For background on how and why I got involved in both NaPoWriMo and the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, check out this post… and, if you’d like to catch up on my progress to date, my challenge posts are tagged with Poetry from A to Z. Glad you stopped by, and hope you’ll return!)

raindrops plop, fat and wet
stymied by a skylight barrier
rivulets trickling down the glass
in mesmerizing streams

kittens purr, low and rumbling
curled in a yin and yang embrace
fluffy sides rising, falling
in time with each breath

pillows entice, plump and soft
resting on vanilla-scented sheets
feather-warm comforter beckoning
in alluring invitation

and…

i am gone

Well, that makes perfect sense to me Laurel! Such a combination of sounds with rain and cat purrs in addition to the downy comforter and vanilla smell can all indeed induce a soporific state! 😉 <3

So cosy and lovely sounding. You paint a lovely picture with your words. I love that word soporific. I don’t really know that word well. Thanks for enlightening me.

  It’s not a word I use often, but it seemed perfect for this poem. 🙂

Soporific – love this word. Hope I can stay awake a little longer though. So many A-Zers, so little time. Sleep in May!

Your word picture of rain and comfort set the scene with such simplicity. I’m there, stroking the kittens, snuggled up in a comforter, watching the rain trickle down the glass.

Ah, the reason I don’t go off that quickly must be that we never have rain!
