Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Quilted Plush Horizon

~

The sky looks like a mattress
a pillow-top it seems
A quilted plush horizon
where I just left my dreams

I really should have stayed there
all nestled in my bed
With visions of the one I love
adrift within my head

But now that I am out here
to brave the freezing cold
My eyes still gaze towards the east
and if the truth be told

No matter if I’m sleeping
or up, the day is new
My mind will always see the same
because my dream is you

~



Actually the clouded sky on my way home last night 
looked like a pillow-top mattress. I just saved the 
inspiration for this morning. : )

Gershon Wolf November 12, 2019 at 2:24 PM '--a quilted plush horizon where just left my dreams...' Remarkable bit of phrasing there, Chris. Of course, that's 'par for the course.' I, for one, will never take it for granted however. Bravo! Chris Green November 12, 2019 at 2:29 PM Thanks my friend. I think I was tired this morning, every thing looked like a bed to me. : )

Ronald D Thompson November 12, 2019 at 2:11 PM Quilted plush horizon...now why can't I think of phrases like that? I love to read your poems Chris but the double edge sword is that it highlights my inadequacies..Great work. Ron :) Chris Green November 12, 2019 at 2:28 PM Oh come on now, you give me too much credit and not enough to yourself. I am still laughing over the carrot reply to my comment on your Christmas shopping poem. My friend what I do with weird word combinations cannot compare to the humor I find in your work. But thank you for saying so in your kind comment.

M. L. Kiser November 12, 2019 at 1:35 PM Wow, beautifully rhymed piece of emotion; it does indeed sometimes look like a pillow top. Chris Green November 12, 2019 at 1:45 PM Thank you so very much M.L. I am thrilled you liked this one.

Kim Rodrigues November 12, 2019 at 12:18 PM I love those cool skies! Love it! Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2019 at 10:20 AM On cold mornings we don’t want to pull ourselves out from under a nice homemade warm and beautiful quilt :) Chris Green November 12, 2019 at 1:45 PM Thank you Kim. Did you find the hidden meaning, that I would have rather just stayed in bed today? : ) Just kidding, I appreciate your kindness always.

Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2019 at 8:45 AM Cool piece. If it’s a California King I guess this is an example of California dreaming! Chris Green November 12, 2019 at 8:48 AM Hey I like that Richard! Thanks so much. : )

Heidi Sands November 12, 2019 at 8:41 AM Oh, wow Chris. I can see it! I just love this. We are in a dark, gloomy day here with freezing rain and snow. This is perfect to read. Thank you :) Chris Green November 12, 2019 at 8:48 AM Thanks Heidi. Cold and gloomy here this morning, a little sleet on the way in but nothing too bad. I appreciate you my friend.
