Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Under The Sheets

Under the sheets lies abundance of dreams
                    Tucked away safely to visit each night
Laden in comfort, so warm and aware
            Waiting for just the right time to sleep tight

Under the sheets where the world can be safe
                        Many a monster defenseless to see
Where we have hidden, escaped from the world
                       Waiting for sunlight again to be free

Under the sheets lies abundance of gas
                  Passed in the night, held securely inside
Waiting and hoping for time to erase
     Lest, you know who, will think someone has died

Many things happen while under the sheets
          Some we can talk about, some we should not
Still, it’s a marvelous place to reside
                     Satin or flannel, whatever you’ve got!

Silent One May 18, 2024 at 7:35 AM Your poem playfully yet thoughtfully explores the many layers of experience and emotion that occur "under the sheets." It blends humour with a sense of safety and comfort, capturing the multifaceted nature of this intimate space. It skilfully balances whimsy and warmth, creating a relatable and comforting depiction of life under the sheets. It invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and find humour and solace in the everyday moments that unfold in this intimate space.
