Fluffy Towels

What is life if not fluffy towels?
Big enough to wrap you twice
A night looking up at the sky
Counting stars in the Milky Way
What finer sight than a coastline
Windswept and soaked in rain
In the dryness of the cabin
Playing cards and drinking tea
No greater pleasure than friends
Dropping in totally unannounced
A slap up meal and drinks all ‘round
Sleeping bags and pull out beds
What is life if not fluffy towels?
Big enough to wrap you twice
And Sundays in bed ‘til brunch
In the arms of the one you love.

I do like this very much...it is so very fun!!
It has a bouncy rhythm to it!!
Happy Tuesday or Wednesday...I get confused what day it is for everyone!!
Hugs,
Jackie:-)
Good morning Jackie (Shinade), I think its Wednesday here in Australia but I'll have to check!
Thanks for the feedback on this poem. It was good fun to write and that comes through I guess and the rhythm is always so important to a good poem I believe.
Have a great Wednesday (or Tuesday depending on when you see this)
