My Getaway

How I enjoy being wrapped up real tight
Warmly curled up in a ball,
Visiting Dreamland so deep in the night,
Having no care at all!

Warmly curled up, no noise allowed,
There in my cozy bed;
Blankets on top, the pillow a cloud
Under my weary head.

Then comes the sun, and it’s time to rise,
Get up and greet the day.
But how I love to again close my eyes –
Dreamland’s my getaway!

Congratulations on your success in the contest, Andrea. This is a really cute poem -- dreamland for me is usually a gateway to nightmares, not a getaway. LOL And, yes, there are quite a few nice Catholics on this site. Many Italians and Irish are Catholic, but we mixed breeds hold onto the faith too. Love, Carolyn

Hi Andrea, well deduced (from the 'loo' ref.) Yes I'm in England. I don't want to wish the summer away, but I'm looking forward to seeing your Christmas poems. Glad you enjoyed 'Rudolph Gets the Job' ~ TTYS Sharon :)

Good one here Andrea, Thanks for your comment. Your right, now that you pointed it out, I know that it is not the word I meant to use, lose is the word. The reason I did that is, I used loose in a limerick on my new contest and just got stuck on the word. Lol. Agape, Moses
