Rain Day Call Out

Staying in the bed today
Not getting up at all
Except to get accoutrements
Or answer nature's call

It's not that I'm running 
From life
No cover pulled
Over my head

The rain drumming 
On the roof
I just woke up
decided and said

I'm staying put
In my comfy nest
Read books,watch movies
just get some rest


Not escaping 
but embracing life
As a steaming mug
I hoist


Giving in to
The hearts desire
Giving  wants
A voice


Yep staying in
this cozy cocoon
all the 
Live long day

 Maybe calling up
An old friend
See what they have 
to say


No  places to go
Or people to see
It's staying in
The bed for me

I've read several of your poems this evening and enjoyed them. I have found myself in this one or more than one occasion. The accoutrements especially sound enticing... for me that would be a few snacks in bed. lol. Thanks for your visit.
