Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

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

Paul Callus November 17, 2020 at 5:20 AM 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 Angela Crabtree November 17, 2020 at 5:16 PM Thank you, Paul. One day, I'll be retired :)

Susan Ashley October 31, 2020 at 8:20 PM 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 Angela Crabtree November 1, 2020 at 4:07 PM Thank you, Susan :)

Vijay Pandit October 31, 2020 at 5:46 AM Sounds like a relaxed environment--enjoy your retirement, Angela. Angela Crabtree October 31, 2020 at 2:22 PM 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 :)
