Pillow Talk

My pillow sits there waiting
With my comforter in bed;
It’s so squishy it’s the perfect place
For me to rest my head.

Filled with fluffy down, not feathers,
You can squish it into shape,
Giving comfort, so conducive
To a sleepytime escape.

When I’m traveling, no matter
How expensive my hotel,
I am sure the pillows will prevent
My sleeping very well.

For like Goldilocks, I’ll find them
Way too soft or much too hard
And I’m certain many others
Can relate in that regard.

But at home, when bedtime beckons
And my eyelids claim defeat,
I am thankful for my pillow
As I snuggle ‘neath the sheet.

I was hoping for something more racy, a little tantilizing and lacy. But I must agree that that ol' pillow and me go together like crumpets and tea, Peace. :)

Another wonderfully darling poem and I can so relate to this. You have such a wonderful way with words and such a vivid imagination to think up all these poems of yours.
