The Bedroom Chair 

 
 
It’s zero degrees outside 
and I’m warm and cozy  
lying here in bed 
However, there is a pile 
of my winter clothes  
on the bedroom chair 
waiting for me to wear 
Frankie gives me his  
get up now stare!  
wanting his morning fair  
“Yes Frankie, it’s time  
for me to embrace  
the chilly morning air 
and plunge myself 
into the filtered sun’s 
brittle wintry lair”

Becalmed Without an Alibi

I am reposting this poem in response to Moonwashed’s Weekly Prompted; Becalmed
>> https://amanpan.blog/2023/12/19/moonwashed-weekly-prompt-becalmed/



Becalmed Without an Alibi





Time to unshackle my inflatable raft

And reignite my charred draft

I left floating down the river

When I was the disabled driver

Of my Itmims space craft


Sadly, the fuel tank is running on empty

And the secondhand battery is almost dry

I need to recharge my world beyond page twenty

And being becalmed is not an imaginative alibi

Itmims; Ivor’s Time Machine In Micro Space
