You will always get lucky, in bed;
And your affairs will be handled delicately, in bed.
Integrity is the essence of success,
But not necessarily, in bed.
Your ears believe other people,
But your eyes see truly, in bed.
Beauty is simply beauty,
But magic is the originality, in bed.
Only the talented get help from others;
But that is said more acutely, in bed.
If you do not give up on love, it will not give up on you;
Unless, that is, you go limply, in bed.
Unless, that is, you go limply, in bed.
And if you do, in fact, go limply,
Your flute will go rather blue-fully, in bed.
This is a more playful attempt at the ghazal sonnet, discussed in today's dVerse FormForAllprompt. I realized after writing my last poemthat this form works very well with the old game of adding “in bed” to the message on fortune cookies. :P
