How about a kip on the bed?

Mattress
battle arena for baby brothers
dance floor for sister’s dolls
keeper of coins yet to be counted
carrier of clothing spread and novels read
cover for cash and valuable deeds
habitat for spiders home to silverfish
a pillow harvest a stuffed bear preserve
snack bar washboard trampoline
lounging place for naked bodies
groping thrashing flailing sleeping
unseated table (topped in tasteless sheets)
that stirs a cerebral discussion
what stimulant of discordant dreams
what altar of opposite function.
Graffiti
Adversary of civilized men
petrified in dry cement
like an acorn thrown in reverie
these words the seed of artistry.
New contributor Avantgardian submitted a selection of short poetry to Inkblots Magazine; our editorial team has chosen the two we thought explored such a simple object or theme in an intriguing light, offering new or a change of perception. Through his own style, Avantgardian has produced two top-notch poems, and we’re excited to see what else he creates.
