IMUNURI Prompt: Prone Poem

twain in bed
Rest. Relax. Recuperate. Recline.
Supine. Sleepytime.
Hibernate. Malinger. Surrender to Winter.

This week, write while horizontal.
Poem from a pillow.
Create beneath a comforter.
Touch the divine from your divan.

You may choose to write about relaxing or about winter inwardness, or you could write about a stressful subject with the support of bodily comfort. You might also try something playful, pillow-talky. Follow your fancy while flat on your back or belly.

  2. PRONE POEMS
    By
    PKP

    Wonderland Alice
    Pinafored, floats
    a Cheshire grin
    at the prone poet
    supplicated
    ~

    Pinned in place
    Restrained limbs
    open
    needing yield to
    Escape
    ~

    I do not like to write prone
    Although I've often done it
    Others knowing that I'm lying
    Is too vulnerable a position
    From which to reach
    for even the lowest summit
    ~

    Splayed against the sheets
    Words slide to a linear flat
    Squiggled soldiers standing still
    Prone to attack

  3. Wonderful, Pearl!
    I love your wordplay on "prone" and this:
    "Others knowing that I'm lying
    is to vulnerable a position"
