Before I Sleep

my feet are bare my hair is wet fresh from the shower my comforts met best time of night relaxed, content thoughts of work gone no need to vent these calming hours before I sleep with pen in hand my thoughts run deep poetic lines from my mind flows at end of day creativity grows my feet are bare my hair is wet this is about as good as it can get

So you my little flower are creative poetically at night, I am the total opposite, in the morning my mind is like an open flower, words bursting forth, you have penned a pretty and soothing poem to the soul, loved it~~

Definitely, this IS as good as it gets for poets. Once we're refreshed and relaxed, the muse takes over. Have you ever tried writing under stress? It just doesn't work for me. I love the comfy feeling I get from this poem so I think I'll kick off my shoes and wash my hair. Wake up, Muse, wake up!! Wonderfully uplifting poem, Francine. Love, Carolyn

Nice simple descriptiveness and rhyming. This IS about as good as it can get for most of us. I have just sent you soup mail.
