The Morning After

Trifextra: Week Sixty-Four


(hope I got this right...)
The challenge this weekend is to give us 33 words about anything you want.  Your piece must include at least one hyphenated compound modifier. 
The morning's sun-dappled walls seemed a cruel joke
to spite the prayers stuttered on the brink of sanity
throughout the night of knocks and whispers,
and shadows figures dancing the edges of vision.

    I love the words you picked to bring her sleepless night alive. ("Alive" might not be the best choice of words, given her night visions!)

    any morning seems cruel after a night of sleeplessness, whether it's supernatural or children's request doesn't it?

    love Sun-dappled.

    I love how your mind works and getting to know the real you more. Both here and in real life. Lovely.
