At 11:59, when fears of the unknown Tip toe into my room I cover myself with her and hide.

And she protects me.

Growing up doesn’t stop the need For a really cozy blanket. Life still gets cold. And while I am 34 years old, I still rely on my warm, cozy blanket To feel like I’m okay.aa

Little does she know... I will always be comforted in her warmth.

  1. Revise and make sure that... ➢ the metaphor continues throughout multiple stanzas ➢ you include at least one simile ➢ you include at least one example of personification ➢ you appeal to at least 2 senses using imagery ➢ your tone is clear ➢ you wrote at least 10‐15 lines
