_________________________



day
begins
with snow fall
and  winds blowing
spinning and swirling
I turn on the fireplace
and make a cup of coffee
and settle in with my blanket
as I snuggle in kitty comes too
on a table is my cell and laptop
but first I the watch television news
I sit quietly sipping coffee
now I am informed turn it off
my kitty cat wants some pets
her purrs are so calming
I check my cell phone
check my laptop
my eyes close
need nap
first

Cozy vibes after the first four lines that sit on top of the "I turn on the fireplace", I like the change of action seemingly without there being a change of pace in terms of what's leisurely observed from the same setting, watching the chilly weather from rooms warming up. The organic structure is nicely ambiance-inducing for sleep with its descriptive images adrift just right.

I was right there with you and feel very much as though you did, in fact, write about you. I enjoyed our time by the fireplace one can 'turn on.' I know they exist, have for a long time, yet such seems 'off' to me. A me thing. CayCay

CayCay, thank you so much for the comment, yes I have an electric fireplace, one reason is risk of fire in an old building, my parent had a wood fireplace, I loved it, the smell and crackling, but oh what a mess to clean up, how did that end up being my job, lol, blessings ~
