Undulating

urgency of their needs
unloved by other creeps
Ursula abandoned
Ulrich, a bachelor
ugly and overweight
undiscovered beauty
underneath one’s covers

Maybe a waterbed might do the trick. Hugs.

I used to have a waterbed but my husband preferred a regular mattress. We bought one for our firstborn also. Our cat hid her kittens behind the waterbed so the kids couldn’t get to them. Hugs :)

Nicely done Kim. And the moral to this story: "You can't judge a book by it's cover." Really good one my friend. God Bless, JB

WoW! Kim, You have used the letter U to compose a poem a good poem. It has a nice flow and makes so much sense. You hit the ball out of the park with this one.You made it look so easy; I’m finding it very challenging to write a Pleiades with the letter U. Congrats in advance. Have a great day and weekend-Alexis
