Great poem… I love it!
Here it is hard to get up on the wrong side of the bed when Miss Daisy dog is stretched out there and won’t let you turn over.

This is wonderful and worth publishing. Put it in your collection.

I LOVE This, Colleen…! The “wrong” side of my bed is like a desk….! No room for me to wake up over there, but I get the idea….lol!

very good Colleen. it shakes me up. I keep wanting to go back to those photos of yours – Old Yella. the old refrigerator is one of my favorite photos I’ve seen in a long time. it has a lingering quality to it that I love. You should print it out and frame it for your wall. or mine 🙂 it’s really really good.

Very inspiring, this makes me want to release the devious and rebellious part of myself that I keep locked away in careful vigil!

I like the opposites of what’s expected. Very nice little thoughts.
