Resting

      Just Resting












 

Just Resting 


Where do I go for rest 

Where do you go for rest 

Lots of funny places 

Be like the koala bear 

Up in its tree so snug 

Noon day nap on the couch 


As for me legs are up 

Sitting in my big chair 

Coffee or Coke beside 

Couple cookies or toast 

With the TV blaring 

News, Family Freud, Dateline 


And in my rest eyes close 

Little nap does me good

I absolutely love your style. So individualistic. I love your resting position on a big chair, and I smiled at "Family Freud." Clever!!

I sure resonate with this poem. I spend a lot of time on my loveseat watching (dozing through) stuff on telly. Truly restful. I enjoyed your poem. Nice to see you at What's Going On.

HaHa--I resonate with sleeping in front of the TV, often with a snack unfinished by my side. I like the comparison to the Koala bear, especially the idea of being snug.

So glad you found us, Jim. I missed you, but lost track.

Oh, to be at rest... I love to catch a nap on the couch mid-day. Dreams keep me awake at night, so I do my best sleeping in the daytime, when I can :)

Aha...I love the cute first stanza so much and also the relaxing vibe of the whole poem.

Nothing like a mid-day nap!
