New Toothpaste
Form: Raven’s Rovi Sonnet 59

On the shelf is a new tube of mint paste
A different brand from the one I choose
Yet my heart smiles seeing it there so placed

And a shower gel-scented summer rose
Stands next to mine of musky sandalwood
Towelling down; scent of coffee you chose
Decaffeinated is doing me good

You’re wearing my t-shirt I suppose
And my fluffy robe too, is yours to use
I am making note of things I should get
My jeans clinging to my shower-damp waist
A slow Sunday morning maybe we could

Just go back to bed and build up some sweat
Reliving the moments we’ll never forget

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry. View all posts by JezzieG
