Sunbathing in Bed

I started writing poetry as a child. I write performance poetry, observational, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious human rights issues

Sunbathing in Bed - a Fantasy

Do you ever have that warm feeling in the half-dream world, when the morning sunlight peeps through the curtains, so bright that you can see it even with your eyes closed, and you know it's going to be a lovely day?

A Dream of a Girl Before a Sunrise by Karl Briullov

My Inspiration

My bed faces due East, so I can lie there in the morning, watching as the sun gently appears through the trees outside.

Early one morning, as I lay in bed watching the sun rise over the roof-tops opposite, wallowing in the warmth and brightness, I was suffused with a feeling of well-being.

I closed my eyes for a few minutes. Then these words began to flood my brain and I sat up in bed, reached for pen and paper, which I always keep nearby, and started writing this poem.

My Poem - "Sunbathing in Bed" - Here it is:

Here's Someone Else Who Had Warm Feelings Upon Waking

He's a lot more famous than me, and the music is lovely.

More Poetry - These Are Other Poems I Have Written

• Builders' Depot - a Poem
  I wrote this whilst waiting outside a builders' depot in London, watching all the hustle and bustle, and people going about their business. Just a snapshot of life.
• Malala Yousafzai - the Pakistani Girl Shot in the Head for Attending School
  I wrote this when Malala was seriously injured by a gunman and first brought over to England, for her own protection, I sent the poem to her whilst she was in hospital.
• Janus - a Two-Faced Man
  We've all met them - people who are quite often nice to your face, but have a dual personality which you'd rather not know about

Any suggestions for improvement?
