Andrea Dietrich Poet Rondeau

I'M Burrowing

I'm burrowing inside today
because outside, it's cold and grey.
I'd hate to be a socialite;
I much prefer to sit and write,
so here inside my house I'll stay. . .

And in this little getaway,
You'll find me in no negligee.
Instead, it's PJ's none too tight!
I'm burrowing.

I'll watch a TV matinee;
take time to see my kitties play!
I'll pop some corn when it is night,
then snug in bed and feeling quite
content, nod off. . . And that's okay!
I'm burrowing.

Timothy Brumley June 6, 2011 at 6:42 AM Ahh! Burrowing, one of my favorite pastimes with Jacky on my right side, and Ginger to my left, each watching, guarding, coveting that center throne lap position! Which would wane cold from jealous siege if not for my keyboard and lap-time rationing program for these two overly competitive dachshund alpha female want-to-bees:) Your poem both takes me and finds me in the moment. God's love, Tim.

Connie Marcum Wong January 3, 2010 at 8:52 PM There is nothing like P.J.'s, popcorn and Poetry to lift the spirits. A cozy poem!

Samir Georges January 2, 2010 at 8:07 PM Burrowing, it has its own feeling of wholeness doesn't it? Sometimes the holes we burrow into aren't the comfort we seek though. Thanks for the comment, and in a way it is drowning, it's the sense of unwanted goodbyes as best as I can convey. Samir

Kim Hilliker January 2, 2010 at 6:30 AM A very cozy write. You make me want to do the same.

Joyce Johnson December 30, 2009 at 12:55 PM One more answer and I am out of new poems from you. About the wreath. I took ten of them to the cemetary this year but my son truly was the object of this poem. I lost him ten years ago but he is as fresh in my memory as when he was with me every day. Thanks for all of your comments and I recognize a kindred spirit in you. Love, Joyce
