My Favourite Place (TOLT)
by Susan M Phillips

Rated "G" by the Author.

Another TOLT exercise. This was a study in syllabic blank verse on the subject of hygiene with a syllabic pattern 3,6,1,4,8,4,1,6,3. The more astute observer will see something particular about the pattern.


MY FAVOURITE PLACE
A clean bed
Is a hint of heaven
Or,
At least, cosy.
When I slip between smooth, fresh sheets
And nestle down
I
Am in my favourite place
For Sleeping.

When I wake
I am at peace, peaceful;
Yet
Ready to rise
And face whatever the world has
To offer me.
Not
Stressed or aching, not tired
But ALIVE!
   

Stephen Fry

Well... I guess I am NOT an astute observer! hee, hee, hee...
I can't figure out the particularness of the pattern, but I just made up a new word... particularness. :~)
Keep writing...

And the important part of course is to be alive, not just physically, but spiritually as well, nicely done....

Be always safe,
Karen
