I like your quilt as a metaphor for faith, something that can keep us warm in the bleakest of conditions. In a way, I take the homeless woman as a projection of how you would feel if you had faith in the same circumstances.

Comment from GWinterwin
A good poem telling the story of someone needing warmth. Someone taking a blanket from someone else to keep warm.
Sometimes what one has to do is not nice.

Comment from Ekim777
A down to earth, warm piece; I mean is warmth the only thing mankind cherishes to satisfy him/her self? How does one yearn for a bit of contentment. Warmth is deceptive. Can we find that all embracing comfort alone. We all know that lonesomeness can be hellish though Sartre tells us that hell is other people. It seems we can't win in this world. Ekim777

Hi. I like the lay out and the style of this poem...
I like the idea of it and the way it spins around and ends with such an eye opening thought.

The lady in the blanket, sound asleep by a wall, really sums up the feeling of faith. What a lovely poem this is, and perfect for the contest. Well done and good luck. xsx Sandra.

Comment from Maureen's Pen
The playing ground of life is not always roses in full bloom, sometimes we must pass the thorns and bleed a little. This work made me think, and remember all those less fortunate than me when my gratitude slips for all I have no matter the path I walk. Well penned and insightful work.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Jackarrie
Dreams can be so real, but a bit scary at times. I think I would feel eerie if I saw the quilt on that woman.
a well written free style poem, with a lively image
Well done
