What's Better Than That

When my chores are all done, and it’s night, and the everyday world’s out of sight, with my paper and pen I retire once again to the room where I most love to write. With soft pillows to prop up my head, I sit comfortably on my bed. Though I might seem at rest, there’s a creative test of real work going on in my head! I can write anywhere, but I’m wed to my poetry; thus, I am led where I’m free to take time making love to the rhyme, and what’s better for that - than in bed? For 'A BRIAN STRAND FORMAL' Poetry Contest

Very nice. I tell myself every day that I will keep myself from writing a poem. It never works. You brought a smile to my face.

Congrats Andrea on this masterpiece! As per your question about the horse mentioned - My dad sold him to one of his friends, I found out later he got bit by a snake and died:( Still hard to handle after all these years...Tirzah
