Notes About The Poem

February 17, 2019

Contentment

Sunday morning under my quilted down comforter
Coffee smells loosening tension like a good massage.
My alarm clock snores on, this being its one day off
And I gaze at the dresser replete with family photos.
Contentment fills me, dampening every exposed, jagged nerve
And begins to overflow as my cat purrs her approval.

Reason A. Poteet September 15, 2019 at 10:36 PM Congratulations, Cindi. Great read. Weekends have their appeal along with any day off from routine work. I like the dampening of your raw nerves. Church times hopefully vary enough to let you worship and put your spirit at ease, also. Cindi Rockwell September 16, 2019 at 10:32 AM Absolutely! One reason my Sundays are so peaceful is the time I spend in church!
