Bed Head

Some mornings my locks are in place but other times tis froze as a plane tree blooms at the base then different days are flowers from when I rose So splendid until I replace my shirt I have no inkling why that would matter it's comparable to an unironed bed skirt not so as the mirror would shatter I do not work anymore and my husband is retired in regard to my employment I walked out the door but we're secure and inspired I relish laying down on my couch while he sits in his computer chair I'm there now though not a slouch yet tonight I don't have tousled hair

As a retired person, I can relate to the lack of pressure that each morning presents me! Nevertheless, I still find myself getting up quite early, and my days are full to the brim, and probably also over brimming:) ~ Regards // paul

I love the spirit of this lovely poem, Angie. Your imagery of being home and embracing bed head is awesome and your last line is an amazing finish to a great piece. I can so relate! :) Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

Thank you, Vijay. Actually, it's my husband that's retired. I was still working and ended up walking out on my job. Some people you can work with and some you can't :)
