Did you ever give in to it
the silence draping the hours
and collecting like smoke in rafters
surrender to the inward pull
lock the front door, though
no one comes to call
ignore the phone`s insistence
thankful for the polite digital gal
who takes and saves the
not-so-important message
stay in your nubbly flannels
all the molasses day
munch cereal like a toddler in your bed
devour a book or three and
nap between, just flowing
with the moments when your lids
take you to dreams
did you ever snuggle tight
into delicious decadent sloth
secret smiling into downy pillows
at the delightful laziness
and gather your will to
sit up and write
to write, and write
a twenty-four hour
feathery, velvet
butterscotch cotton
sickday poem?
Well, did you?

I haven't but I would love to! There were times that I would sit in a bathtub of hot water and read for hours, pausing only to freshen up the hot water....good times, even though I looked like a prune when I got out. Now, even though I've gotten too old to get into hot water, I'm still prunish....go figure!

A time or two
It was my due
To lie like you
With naught to do
To be in bed
Where book I read
Wrote what was said
Dreamt like the dead
And though they're sought
These days of naught
They can't be got
Cus' works my lot
So write I must
When time is just
A thing I lust
And sleep's a bust


Your's was an enjoyable read. Thanks for the inspiration.

"stay in your nubbly flannels

I never have Amaryllis,
but I think it's about
time I did.
you make it sound so delicious.

Fine writing Amaryllis, never had one of those in many years. Delightful laziness as ever abandoned me.
