Naomi Bannister Poet Rhyme

You Made Your Bed, Now Lie In It

The bed I wet when I was eight, 
on my Scooby Doo custom sheets? 
The waterbed I came to hate, 
when the patches failed beneath my feet? 

 
Maybe the one in my college dorm, 
where I grew a foot as a sophomore? 
This one now, you seem to say; 
with you, for you, I need to stay.

raven artlyy September 16, 2026 at 5:56 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Beata Agustin April 6, 2024 at 6:14 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
