Last Night I Saw the Bedroom Awakening

by Summer Kate Griffiths aged 10

Last night I saw the bedroom awakening
The blinds were blinking lazily
Stretching and yawning
As drawers shouted!

Last night I saw the bedroom crying
Books dejectedly sat on the shelves
Carpets stayed frantically still
Shadows stood upon the wall.
Windows were soaked with tears.

Last night I saw the bedroom laughing
Alarm clocks got the giggles!
Mirrors shook hysterically.
And
Sheets completely creased themselves.

Last night I saw the bedroom starving
Curtains smacked their lips and ate seven windows.
And the fans stuffed there faces with wind.

Last night I saw the bedroom dancing
Chester drawers opened there mouths happily
Doors split their sides and held hands with hinges.
And carpets completely out creased themselves.

Last night I saw the bedroom sleeping
Pillows night dreamed!
Covers warmed themselves up
Bedside lamps quietly boasted,
“When I grow up I want to own this bedroom.”
And the carpet
Was like a flying rug
Snoozed in the dark gloomy night
