Room

~ Harlan Didrickson 

My room slowly 
lightens like mood
receiving better news 
trickling at first 
and then sprinkle 
and finally deluge 
as sun breaks 
like a child 
holding back laughter 
all at once 
an engine starting 
at full throttle

  1. Your poetic description beautifully captures the gradual transformation of your room’s atmosphere, akin to the unfolding of good news. The imagery of the sun breaking through, likened to a child unable to contain laughter, vividly portrays the sudden and joyous change, resonating with a sense of dynamic energy and anticipation.
