Pillow,

you synthetic, polyester, down feathers,

beautiful memory foam thing,

your natural cotton, wool, bamboo,

hypoallergenic highly durable wonder of comfort

fills my sleep with glorious dreams of fanciful delights

i hold you close to my beating heart

i snuggle you gently to my cheeks

i cuddle you close to my breasts

while i close my eyes and delight in your soft satiny touch

how tenderly you soothe and ease the kinks from my pent up

shoulders

you complete me at the end of the frightful days

you make everything so much better

i cannot wait for my day to end

for then i hurry home to your sweet caress

i hold you close and breathe your lavender scented mist

then all is well, dear pillow

for to gentle sleep you then lull my tired soul

my pillow has now brought me

my tranquil, peaceful sweet repose

goodnight dear world

i bid you adieu and goodnight!

Goonight. Sleep tight.

    Likewise! Can never have enough pillows. Even on the couch, one for the lap, one for the legs, one for the back and one for my head! I use to take my pillow with me everywhere! 😆 Don’t ask! loved this warm and cozy ode!!! 🤓👍 Do you follow Andrei Z on here? His new poem about autumn is really good!

    A pillow is a person's best friend; so super comfy Ode, well-sung!

    It's hard to find a good pillow, so when it happens is love forever 💝 😃

    This is great, made me think about how much I love my pillows as well. May I make a suggestion to correct "days" for "day" in "i cannot wait for my days to end" right under the photo with a yellow wall? Otherwise it sounds like you know of your impending death.
