Cold Awakening

Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is to write a poem using an epic simile (long similes used over multiple lines).


Cold Awakening
By Candace Shultz

The warm blankets disappeared,

Pulled back by strong masculine arms,

And suddenly she felt so cold

As though she'd fallen into a frozen lake,

The ice solidifying once again

So she couldn't escape the frigid water.

Her body shook violently in the bed.

Goosebumps pricked her arms 

And the tiny hairs stood up on her skin

As she fought to stay warm

And escape the freezing waters

Of her half-awakened dreams.
