Pillows... The fluffy road to happiness.
A very special ode.
Dive into a puffy cloud atop a bed of cotton - dreaming of you
The reliance we share, is that of an old friend - confiding in you
Stuffed with love so firm, genuinely devoted- cherishing you
And saves the day like a trusty mechanic- relying on you
~
You're something to hold onto when she's not there
You capture the scent of her freshly washed hair
You're the only reason to ever hit snooze,
without your support my neck lies bruised
From down feathered satin to memory foam,
you always make sure I’m never quite alone
You love me too, how could you not?
I'm the only family you and the others have got
So, let me fluff you just the way you like
even though, at times, you're out of sight
~
The day is gone
the kids are sleep,
the dog is in
from his late-night pee
The time is here,
to lay down my head,
on the greatest place ever
It’s time to go to bed...
Thank you for stopping by. 😍

This is excellent
Awesome!!!
Fantastic!
Read this on getting into my own bed, and oh yes, absolutely.
This is sweet 🥰✨
I do believe I may have gotten too comfortable with this one, Lamar. I think I slept right through it. Had to return to it this morning after I woke up again, lol. I resonate with every word of this, my friend.
Very much love the ability you have to use the pillow as not only a place-holder for love and companionship, but to depict the pillow as a partner we all know intimately. The rythym of this and soft tone also invokes the sensation of laying down against a pillow stuffed with understanding. You have such a way with words - it's admirable.
This has such a soothing flow - very fitting for a poem about a pillow. Also love your rhymes.
So L-Bud - I GiT-U - You're nothing but a bunch of HouseHold' "Fluff" - It's as though you scoot around the house to see what to write about next - "Soap-Socks-Pillows" - Just hope the next is not the dirty clothes hamper. You're fun and I 'Nominate' you as the VM Community House-Cleaner-Upper of the day. J-Bro Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Author Community -
Awww, I loveeeeee my pillow too! This was such a wonderful ode!
👏😊 Agreed. “Let me fluff you just the way you like it” made me laugh! 🤣 Thanks.
💙 Lamar, though I am still away for a minute, I dropped by, glad I did. Whew! If my pillow had made me feel this way, I might not have married. Between your poem and a new book preview by another Vocal family member ... 😌 Bravo!!! 💙👋✍️💙 📖 BTW, you might want to check out that book preview.

I agree, I think you might sweep the top two slots! Then you can sleep easy, in only one sock!
I think I just read the winning poem!! I love every single line!
