Welcome to “Writober,” a challenge hosted by Maria at Experience Writing.

Today’s chosen prompt: Inanimate Objects Coming to Life. “Write a poem about the life of an inanimate object. You could write from the objects point of view, or use the cube exercise to explore the object from many different points of view.”

I sit on cupboard shelf,
morning chill running
down my smooth surfaces.
I wait to be pulled
from my rest, hand grasping
with desperation, urgent
need for waking warmth.
Every day I am
filled with comfort,
my lot in life hoping never
to be shattered on
cold tile floors.
