55 WORDS






BED SHARING


While she was cooking dinner

he was mowing the grass outside.

She felt this pressure in her throat

As if someone was trying to suffocate
her from behind.

Voiceless, she called her man out

In vain.

At last she woke up

to find his arm covering

her nose and mouth.

Just a sleeping couple accident...

Lol!~ I was once dreaming that I had bought a new fur coat , and then I woke up to find the cat sitting on my chest! :D

That was quite a problem.

I really enjoyed this one-my wife and I have some of the same problems! I linked over from G's-great artwork!

Liam said...

I wonder what that dream would mean?

I think you should publish these poems if you haven't already.

Dulçe ♥ said...

Oh my oh my.
My dear friends thank you so much for these beautiful comments. Sometimes I prefer them to my own work!
You know? This story really happened to my late aunt and uncle many years ago... So let it be a Tribute to Them.

Sylvia said...

Sweet and homely... And almost like a thriller. Brilliant.

Lou said...

I dreamed I was in an earthquake, but it was just my husband's snoring!

Good one!

Fandango said...

Of course that never happens to dragons because we sleep standing up.
But you did make a great 55 out of it.

hope said...

Ah, I can so relate! Thanks for putting a nice twist on a very familiar scene for we who do not sleep alone. Hubby has done similar to me and with him almost twice my size, it's a breath taking moment...no pun intended. :)

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Monkey Man said...

I bet it was a bit scary waking up from that dream. Great story. 55's create so much fun.

Zee said...

I love the truth in your poetry..the true moment that could happen to anyone of us, however; your words make this moment special..some lovely taste that is close to imagination...keep writing..I love your work!

Unknown said...

Well, that was frightening! I didn't know where it was going. Shocker ending. Well done.

Hugs,
Sue

Wait. What? said...

Reality - in a dream!

CJ said...

I liked this one. Yes, bed sharing can be a problem. By the time I get to bed, my husband is in the middle and I have to nudge him to his side, then I have to take back the covers he has stolen ---and then we have our sleeping partner, the cat who wants her share, too.

Dulçe ♥ said...

Thanks everyone for your amusing alluding comments.
I've had great fun with them!
:) :) :)

MANPOLO said...

Akelamalu said...

I liked the twist!

Pam said...
