Ode To My Bed

My bed is a vintage and very old I adore the swirled black metal nice to behold so delicate each created petal I inherited it from grandma long ago and can never let it go The mattress is not to everyone's taste perhaps a bit lumpy and soft with pillows placed a perfect bed in my open space loft oh, each night I lay caressed by my vintage bed under a down bedspread The bed is close to a window dormer it looks really beautiful there nothing warmer in the sunshine the best bed anywhere so cozy to just lay and soak up the morn' sun before day has begun _________________________ February 28, 2023 Poetry/Ode/Ode to my Bed Copyright Protected, ID 02-1528-594-28 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Write An Ode sponsor, Jeff Kyser.

Congratulations Ms. Connie. Sounds like a lovely bed. I was curious why a copyright was added? Has there been issues with the site lately?

Nancy, thank you so much for the congratulations and comment, I was having my poems stolen previously, as were other poems on PS but since I started putting the copyright at the bottom that has stopped for me!

Charlotte, thank you so much for returning to read my poem, I love my bed and it is very cozy. Yes, writing my grief and sadness has become my forte but I really want to begin writing on other themes, happier themes, blessings, Constance
