Abri
by Rachel Hoyt
When you're looking for an abri,
You may settle for the first you see,
Because you may be running from something scary
Towards a shelter or refuge - an abri.

for me an abri is a shelter?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if that is what you meant, but In French an abri is the shelter you hide in during war time for example.
DeleteThe definition is from an english dictionary, but it sounds like it came from the French because yes, that is what the poem was saying. :)
DeleteWow, I've never heard of this word before! Very interesting! An addition to my vocabulary--abri! :-D
