DOORWAYS

 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

  1. 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.

    1. ...and there are those who would give it an even shadier connotation, but I prefer to think of it as warm and welcoming!

  4. 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.

  7. When you enter a house it is always good to feel at home even though it may not be your home.
