Perfect Slumber
I sleep fearlessly
Arm draped
Over the side
Of my bed
I’ve ready met
The monsters
Underneath

I really like how you re-emphasized the fearlessness in the end! You’ve already met the monsters and gave a strong image of that with the arm over the bed, great piece!
Another tidy but strong poem.
I love how you created a familiar image within a few lines. Like the summation of growing up in a matter of a few words.
compact and powerful. Fearlessly above draped make a great twinning.
the turn of phrase “I’ve ready met” something about the way those words fall make the impact so much greater. there’s a daring in this poem truly appreciated.
Perfectly captures triumph over monsters.
