Tableaus and Nightstands

Something for a latest dverse poets prompt.

//////////////////////////////////////////

I was all a reach

with tableau which sounds

like table but wasn’t

as it don’t hold no

lamps or knicks instead

real tried light and knacks

to table tableau’s

nightstand sleep wishes

to reach when night comes

hard unforgiving

dreams of cold monsters

that scream for a day

to forgive where went

night in its anger

spent too much time dear

colorful though but

when she said enough

I agreed, again

to way pass this new

time her table side

and mine, can you click

light dear on your side

need to sleep again

find a new tableau

table nightstand to

reach for

    1. Thanks Paul, though to tell you the truth I’m still not really sure what the hell I was talking about in this one.
