Staring out the window
of his hobbit home
the man shivers
knowing he is not alone
There is a sizzle
a pleasant fragrant smell
something unusual
not knowing it well
A past experience is relived
being taken into a UFO
strange beings cooking
begging him not to go
Up into the structure
a rope hanging from a tree
the beings begin grabbing him
he falls to his knees
The fragrant aroma continues
intense light from the sun
blinded temporarily
wanting to run
A small being speaks
please come in
the fragrant aroma in the air
causing his head to spin
Memories flow
trying to piece the puzzle
then suddenly the fragrant aroma disappears
there is no more struggle
Quiet and serene
the lights and voice fade
sight returning to normal
now in the shade
Awakening now
was it just a dream
staring out the window
his eyes now gleam

Your imagination is amazing! I didn’t create a poem based on this picture, but I remember when I first saw it I thought of the Hobbit too. At first I thought it was the beard, but as I look at it more carefully, it’s not the beard actually, but the round window frame and the wooden wall.
I enjoyed reading yours. It made me smile.
Thank you. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
You’re welcome.
Fabulous! Really nice poem Debbie! β€ π
