Short Flannel Poems

The plaid flannel jacket
From my Dad
Hangs There
A Reminder
Of His Old Spice smell...

The dryer spins noisily
Old flannel revitalized
Threadbare memories
Warmly awaiting
Life’s familiar touch

Fireplaces are fresh,
Cups hold hot coffee
Flannel shirts,
Denim jeans.
Stars are night lights
Untouched snow found....

Bedtime Delicasies


Soft, warm, big pillows.
Flannel sheets, sherpa blankets,
Warm cat, at my feet.

in winter's cold love does grow
snuggled between flannel sheets
excitement hard to handle
nine months later torn

Pickles dressed up in black eight inch heels
Tickles snuggled in flannel gown with toy eel
Pickles danced all night
To waning moonlight
Pickles home late tripped over eel took spill...

I watched a man in a red and black flannel shirt
walk into the bathroom holding a box of tofu
 and then
the man in the flannel shirt walked out without it.

He is alive and breathing just like me....

Wear a flannel shirt of mine
Infused with my cologne
Then you will always think of me
And never be alone
Although I'd rather be right there
To give a great big hug
In time my love, in time we'll be
Two bugs in a rug...

               Soft warm flannel sheets
               Muses murmur lovers
               Sexy dream cover

Stars and flannel are both brash.
Colors which both sparkle and clash.
You cannot eat either one.
Made of molecules of fun.
Both are warm as can be.
On a dark night, they are a sight to see.
Patterned in a wild way.
Stars and flannel both have something to say!...

The sun is intense this morning
I am wearing my husband’s black sweatshirt
No bra
Just me and the shirt
And my flannel pajama pants
I am not a Neanderthal
If I were younger, I would take off the shirt
Wait
I live in the country
No one comes here
Just a second...

And as the shades of flannel fade away
I sit beneath a bulbous smiling moon
Whose shadows bid a gentle breeze at play
To kiss the petaled face of sleeping bloom
And cause the waking rose to blush all day.

I'm not amused
How you abuse
The TV that you watch
Take the volume up a notch.
How  you surf through each 
channel,
As you watch in your
flannel.
It gets to be old,
Especially in a household.
Enough is wnough,
You think you're tough stuff.
I can't let it go,
Until you're in Soho!...

Slip into your comfies to warm your mind and tummy,
 fleece-lined flannel warm nirvana,
sip your tea and honey
 while old movies become a panorama
of memories and wayward dreams
 when youth was foolish and indiscrete
then close your eyes and sleep
 prepped and ready for tonight's dream repeats....

Amidst the madness of gunfire
we found a safety haven.
Passing through concentric borders 
sounds faded into birds chirping
and water trickling in a tropical
oasis.
In the center was a cradle and 
a baby sleeping peacefully wrapped
in soft flannel gave a little sigh
and curled its tiny fingers....

Put out some cookies and cuddle down
A warm blanket and a flannel gown
Ready to read a great new book
Able to let the rest of the world go by
Doing this simple thing is heaven on earth
Is a time free of worry and stress you see
So I’m thankful for these small pleasures
Enjoying what is earthly paradise to me…

Good night, sweet angel
And may your dreams be sweet.
I'll tuck you in warm and snug
On your soft flannel sheet.
Good night, sweet angel.
Close your pretty eyes.
Dream dreams of birds and bunnies
Under deep blue skies.
Good night, sweet angel.
Have a peaceful sleep.
We'll meet again tomorrow,
When the birds begin to cheep....

An old cowpoke from Cheyenne, Wyoming
Got a hankering and set out a roaming.
He got as far as Montana,
Choked on a banana,
And returned in a box the next morning.

There was no one waiting to meet him,
No family or loved ones to greet him.
He was laid in the dirt
In boots, jeans, flannel shirt,
And an old faded checkered bandana....

I often leave them there
The leaves
That chose my “lawn”
To rest upon
They often leave
On their own
Catch a gentle breeze
To another destination
The cat plays with them
Or may just be searching
For a mouse hidden among them
Flannel- clad
I sit at Autumn’s after party
No clean up necessary
Just a few chilled moments
Reflecting…
