late at night,
I like to get cozy,
with my comfy blanket,

Laying upon my couch,
chips and pop, snacks,
relaxing, retreat.

Once I am reclined,
I begin looking for,
my favorite channel,

Old black and white movies,
some full of color,
but all are classics.

I see the women,
so classy, dressed,
with respect and charm,

Men with morals,
no nude scenes,
didn't need them,

No curse words,
words of witty charm,
flirtations,

Oh, the music,
I could dance,
romantic glances.

Some are funny,
some sad, happy,
great stories,

The narrator appears,
right before each one,
telling why it was picked.

If only I could press,
the button and escape,
into time with them.

You know you're in love, when you can't fall asleep,because reality is finally better than your dream~Dr.Seuss

nothing like them....I hate to go to sleep,
for then I am awake in reality.

Glad to see someone who is like minded!

This is so true! Lovely poem, really takes me there

If you don't mind subtitles, give a few Bollywood movies a try. Most of them are pure family fare with beautiful colors, music and dance. Lots of drama and always a happy ending.

You sound like me, RA. I love the old movies for the same reasons. My favorite is the 1939 version of Wuthering Heights. I can't count how many times I've watched it and cried every time.

I feel the same way...I go to sleep every evening with TCM on. Nice write.
