Simple Comforts

In troubled times, my comforts can include
such simple things, and there are plenty of
those things. For me, there’s always comfort food!
A nice big bowl of soup is one I love.
Another stress-reliever is TV.
I lose myself in someone else’s plot.
Another thing, of course, is poetry.
I lose myself in that one quite a lot.
But sometimes life gets very hard indeed.
I find my phone and call a best friend or
one of my sisters! I think when we need
support the most, that’s what good friends are for.
My spouse is always there for me as well.
Sweet comfort is the home in which I dwell.

This is rare poetry. Expressions of little simple joys of our lives through a medium as intricate as a Sonnet. Your words are always beautiful Andrea. All the best :)

I fully agree with Lindsay about your sonnets. You have poetically expressed some everyday creature comforts through the filter of an artist who dreams in rhyme and thinks in iambic pentameter. You have written well of the haven of home. Best wishes in the Bridge contest ~ John
