Writers' Pantry #75. Doors on city streets have always fascinated me. I'm left wondering what stories they conceal, what secrets they hold forever. Submitted to Poets & Storytellers United, June 20, 2021
DOORWAYS
the closed door
shuts out chaos
warmth and safety within
the red door
speaks of welcome
to those who
wish to enter
schoolhouse door
house of education
key to success
the church door
God found within
spirit nourished
I like that the red door is welcoming. Most people might think of the color as a warning, but I love red--seeing it portrayed as positive leaves me smiling.
ReplyDelete...and there are those who would give it an even shadier connotation, but I prefer to think of it as warm and welcoming!
DeleteIsn't it amazing what we can find behind doors? We must choose wisely, or we might be sorry!
ReplyDeleteLuv the curiosity , that doors infer. Luv your interpretations of what's within. Happy Sunday. Thanks for dropping by to read mine
ReplyDeleteMuch💛love
In this small town we know what's behind most doors. That in itself gives the place a homey feel. But yes, I remember living in a city, where many doors held mystery and it was fun to imagine what might be behind t hem.
ReplyDeleteI agree -- doors are often fascinating.
ReplyDeleteyes, doors certainly have their stories to tell.
ReplyDeletein our urban highrises here, most doors are shut the whole day. :(
When you enter a house it is always good to feel at home even though it may not be your home.
ReplyDeleteI lived in a house in Minneapolis with a red door ~~~ friends knew they were always welcome♥️ With or without the door.
ReplyDeleteI love to go through doors. Thresholds fascinate me. They don't make them much anymore.
