would you snuggle with me ? I aught not but we can .
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • September 7–13, 2026)
As I snuggle beneath the sheet
I thank you Lord placing my feet
at such a distance from my nose
and all else 'tween my head and toes.
Though other things you could improve,
of this design I do approve.

"Moments of personal growth marked my happiness
i stand in love with the idea of being with her
she made things so difficult.
One night we watched Venus and Jupiter align in the
spring sky. I fell asleep on her shoulder
and she hugged me alnight
I was so happy I had made person staus and
and it was enough for me."
---------------------------------------------------------------
I’d Have You Naked Anytime
Fun time
Yum time
Doodle de doo time
Time for you
Time for me
Nothing but you and me
Wheee time!
No time to lose
More time to snooze
Or just a kiss
That’s what I miss.
I have an insatiable longing for home.
How do I find it again?
What am I even missing?
These liminal memories haunt me.
Night after night, I'm transported back;
Back to where I had so much pain and joy.
Reason tells me that to go back would hurt more.
These memories are not good ones.
But they draw me in,
Wrapping me in a warm embrace,
So sleepy and snuggly
That I don't realize I'm suffocating.
To go back where I was
Means I cannot return.
So I cannot go back,
Lest I fall asleep in the sauna.
I "Can't Wait"
'Til She Says:
"I'm Sick Of
Your #%@%$,
Squirrel Honey!"
Just Like A:
REAL
LIVE
GIRL!!!!
Hooray!

If I had a friend, I would snuggle him all night.
So saying, my grandson Fred turned out the light.
I brought in a beagle puppy and put him in the bed.
Not one likes snuggling more than my grandson Fred.
The puppy loves a snuggle, so they are a happy two.
If you want to get in on the action, we’ll have a group hug too.
There is never enough love to go around but this is a start.
A snuggle with a warm puppy will gladden up anybody’s heart.
“I saw it! I saw it!”, the groundhog announced.
“My shadow – it grew and it flounced!
Run! Hide! Save yourself and those you love
and leave the cold to the ground above!
Six more weeks of huddling and cuddling.
Here’s to the wonderful warmth of snuggling!"
I awaken to the pitchy darkness covering my face
and I roll over to dig through the nightless dark.
I peep out hoping to find the warm sun; I sigh
and scurry back to the warmth of my bed
amongst the nuts and seeds we stored
and snuggle with brother and sister.
Tomorrow, I will try again.
I know it will come.
Just not when.
Wrapped up in a blanket, bliss
Scented woman, loveliness
Surrounds the songbird with his love
Strokes her face with fingerless glove
Moves the hair out from her eyes
Eskimo kisses in disguise
Lips inviting, slightly part
His meet hers, she's got his heart
Blast the doors open to its crackling light
And wrap my heart over all of its fury
I snuggle up to the storm raging night
Roaring black skies screaming down, my delight
Desert monsoon quivering all blurry
With all of my might, I squeeze its soul tight
Spun out of control and not at all right
My kindred spirit, have not I a worry
I snuggle up to the storm raging night
Tearing away turning love into fright
Desperate minds churn up in its flurry
With all of my might, I squeeze its soul tight
It howls obscenities wanting to fight
Cemetery ghosts, like blown leaves scurry
I snuggle up to the storm raging night
Pretending a peaceful end to life's plight
I won't be false and from madness hurry
I snuggle up to the storm raging night
With all of my might I squeeze its soul tight

Snuggle in
as snug as a bug in a rug
Be it a struggle
Be your limbs supple
Be you a married couple
or not ~ Snuggle in
New yellow striped tabby was wooed by the crowd.
They were mysterious to him, scary and loud.
They invited him to come have kibble bites and tea.
He asked his mama “Why do they all want me?”
You are a new guy to the neighbors the mother said.
Take it as a compliment but don’t let it go to your head.
But I want to stay here and snuggle with you Mommy.
She loved that too; it was comfy as anything could be.
New yellow striped tabby sent back a couple of accepts.
He had tea and kibble bites, and donut holes full of sardine flecks.
This is fine and dandy he told his Mama Dear.
But in truth, the best thing of all is to stay and snuggle here.
Under snow white sheets disarray
Snuggle Bunnies romp and play
Acrobatic twists and turns
Softly thumping bodies burn
As lustful fire starts to grow
Sweat moist bodies start to glow
And loving voices begin to switch
To lust filled groans of fevered pitch
Entwined in wanton ecstacy
Of Snuggle Bunny fantasies
there is a certain blindness...
that hides in plain sight...
between the things seen...
and behind the darkest night...
evolution means...not all seeing...
blindspots of an imperfect manifestation...
they are all around us...
people average thirty percent observation...
their brain supplies the rest...
seventy percent on subjective memory...
thirty percent on objective truth...
enter insight...beginning what's real...
common sense and social empathy...
see your self as inward...
steps on the tai chi...
blown sand
