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

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!
