After a long and stressful day Running the bath and adding scented oils Watching the bubbles foaming and frothing Climbing into the deep soapy suds Sensational scent of lavender rises Relaxing in the steamy atmosphere Blissfully all my troubles melt away Drying myself in a soft warm fluffy towel Climbing into freshly laundered sheets Sheer bliss! 21st January 2015 ~awarded 1st Place~ Indulgence Contest - Shadow Hamilton

Sounds great, but it is so hard to find a comfortable bathtub (I'm 6 feet tall). I have to settle for shooting Zerg and Protoss aliens on my favorite video game for an hour or so.

Jan Allison

I'm only short so I have no trouble in the tub:-) Hugs Jan xx

This is definitely heaven Jan. So enjoyable to read, sorry but I am heading home to have a little bit of your heaven:) Janet

Sorry for what you are going through Jan. I am sure I could never relate Jan, nor would I ever try. I care for my elderly parents and watching what they are going through is enough to make me cry. That is one of the reasons I am writing poems, to help me keep it all together. Sometimes we all need a little peace of heaven to go to. Hugs Janet

With my present life issues Janet I really should be living in my bath tub at the moment - this to me is simply heaven on earth:-( hugs jan xx

I feel guilty not liking this poem, you have so much TALENT, I will be a big fan! I have only recently found, my puny writing skill, it has come late in life, 77 years going on 7, soon I will be posting, PLEASE CRITIQUE my work. Thanks The kurlman

Jan Allison
Date: 2/2/2015 3:57:00 PM

To be honest I think the poem may appeal more to a woman than a man Carl - I appreciate your honesty. I have been writing for just a year and am having the time of my life:-) hugs Jan xxx
