Hidden

07/03/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



I’m hiding somewhere good

No one will ever find me

Not an inch of me is visible

And I can’t see a thing



It’s a bit dark where I’m hiding

But they’ll never think to look

And I will be the winner

For the first time in my life



They’ve been looking for a long time

I’ve been quiet all the while

I can hear them searching everywhere

Except this place where I am



They know I don’t like the dark

And I’m being very brave

My bother and sister will be surprised

When I finally reveal myself



I know they’re really struggling

They’ve roped in mum and dad

I can hear them making a search plan

To try and find my secret spot



The cupboards are being opened

Even the ones I cannot reach

But I’m not behind any closed door

Just tucked up in my spot



The dog has sniffed around me twice

I think he knows that something’s up

But he’s not given me away at all

And I love him so very much



He’s curled up in front of me

Blocking me further from sight

It must have been an hour now

And they still haven’t found me



It’s rather comfy here

With a rug and pillow to keep me warm

And the dog breathing deeply

As he dreams about chasing butterflies



They’re taking their time finding me

And I wonder if they’ve given up

I’ll give them a little bit longer

Before I show myself



I’m getting a little bit tired



    My eyes just won’t stay open



        I don’t suppose it would matter



            If I just had a little nap



I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep

I don’t know if I slept at all

But, somehow, I am in my bed

Snug as a bug in a rug
