Night Fellows (Summer's Fun) (minute poem)

Laying onto cozy pillows,
(our night fellows),
they'll never fret
with nightmares' threat

or the weight of the heavy heads
when lay on beds
they'll never ache,
or shake or break.

They mum all the nights' secrecy
a policy
we should all learn
and fully earn.

If the pillows read your poem they will dance with joy and say O My!

(our [fluffy] night fellows),

or the weight of the heavy heads [or weights of heavy heads]
when [they] lay on beds

They mum [keep] all the nights' secrecy
[that's a pillow] policy
we should all learn
and fully earn [for us to return]

the read and all the thoughts dear friend.
A minute poem should have 60 syllables Only
Don't know if it still reads eloquent as it is.

P.s mum the secret = keeps the secret
So what do you think?

nagging you more Rula

how about Night Buddies as a title?

Thank you for your thoughts. I might do the change if you convince me that "buddies" is more apposite than "fellow" :)

i made the suggestion because a fellow could be a one night stand whereas a buddy is someone who is more permanent and more trustworthy...perhaps you could also consider mates as an alternate

Imagery and personification eulogizing pillows aptly expresses the poet's emotions. Keep it flowing.

for the visit. Highly appreciate it.

Rula would this qualify as a tiny poem?

on her pillow lay a hair
wasn't hers
she's blond, not a brunette
she raised hell
almost stabbed hubby dead
who asked her
why are you wearing shades?

thought I would try one :)
..............................................................................

raj (sublime_ocean)

Crazy women!
This indeed "fit the bill"

Should the last line read
"Why you're wearing shades?"
Or
Why are you wearing shades?

Just asking
