Notes About The Poem

For  Margarita Lillico's Domestic Bliss Contest

Bath Time Bliss

Of all home’s comforts -
other than my cozy bed -
there’s another place
where I love to prop my head.

A whirlpool tub have I
with a headrest built right in.
It has water jets
so water pressure hits my skin.

The jets I don’t use often,
but bubbles they can make,
and those come in handy
when my muscles sometimes ache.

So when nightfall comes
and solitude envelops me,
in my giant tub
is where I just might be.

Eyes closed, I lie back
in liquid warmth; stress floats away,
for this is the time
to forget woes of the day.

This is a fun, rhymed poem. Ahh, yes, a warm bath makes me feel (temporarily at least) that all's right with the world. Moon Harp

We all have some ways to keep our tensions at bay. Your relaxing in the warm waters of the whirlpool tub sounds so energizing. I relax walking in my small garden. Love your rhyming poem.

Many things: the lady whose bathtub I once dreamed I used has written about her bathtub; do you really have one?; Tim has one around here somewhere to install; you haven't mentioned this wonderful, relaxing place and it sounds so heavenly; can you shower in it if you prefer? A good entry for contest and a good tub to enter.

It's very hard to clean because i can't just reach around to clean it. It's not that huge but it's bigger than the average tub. Joe is so weak now with his bad back that it's becoming really hard for me to get him out of it! Oh my. We had to have our grandson help me to get him out of it. That's how bad Joe's back is now!! It isn't hooked up for shower. I hate showers!
