Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Sleeps Not the Mattress

SLEEP’S NOT THE MATTRESS


Sleep’s not the mattress, hard or soft.
It’s Spring with a rose sheet.
Expels her breath - a peaceful waft.
Copper eyes and smile’s sweet.

The curtain’s drawn - it’s dark.
What lovely dreams - they’re stark.
This queen, she made her mark.

In pale of darkness—
sleep’s not the mattress.

Kim Rodrigues February 25, 2022 at 11:53 AM Could be sleep…could be death. Inspired by my mom’s Spring death last year. Some clues: rose sheet, peaceful, she only expels her breath. Thank you, Paula.

Gershon Wolf February 19, 2022 at 8:54 PM Interesting ideas here, for sure!! Thanks, ~ President of American Mattress Kim Rodrigues February 20, 2022 at 5:03 AM Between your mattress and “My Pillow,” America is covered. I am finally using a pillow that works - not the foam nor an advertisement but a random one I found in a room. I am like the mama bear in Goldilocks not to mention the princess like “Princess and the Pea”. Sleeping can be tricky.
