Magpie Tales # 37

Duvet still retains
our lingering body heat
on this cold morning.

Mirror reflects your absence
while memory treasures warmth.




For more wake up calls, go and see Willow who has set the alarm...

And because I've got out of sequence, I'm going to add a Monday's Child poem here too. At least the bed theme is carried on! 


Three little kittens tucked up in bed;
"Tell us a story" the smallest one said.
"Sing us a lullaby" the second one pleaded
but the third interrupted "I know what is needed
just a kiss and a cuddle to wish us good night -
That would be best !" And you know - he was right!

  23. Ooh yeh, I agree with Claudia...there is nothing like climbing into sheets that have the heat of ones body lingering in them. It's even better if there is a loved one's body in there too!

  28. Jinksy (Penny) - lovely haiku. simple and warm. I like these when they don't shout at you but sort of cuddle up and warm you.
    Thanks for your comment on my blog. It made me think about how I heard what i wrote and how readers might hear it - so I reconstructed it somewhere between prose and poetry. I'd be interested in your comment. I hope it flows better now. I like flow.
