Poem Prompt - A Winter Evening Indoors

The cool breeze drifts in from the window

The stew is bubbling in the pot as the fire crackles

I’m wrapped in my blanket beside the fire

Reading my favourite book

The dog is curled up on the couch at my feet

I have a hot mug of coco beside me

Through the windows I can hear the crickets chirping away under the moon

Every now and then I can hear the owl hoot outside

Calling for its mate and a mouse to snack on

The condensation clings to the windows

Candles lit by the windows

It’s peaceful and quiet this winter night

Barely anything stirs

Slowly I fall asleep in the chair

Asleep on this winter evening indoors
