Pillows in Their Cases

@HikingMan You have a way to turn something mundane and relatable into something profound and meaningful.

Thank you, sir. I really just type and leave words on a screen. I am glad you enjoyed it in some fashion.

@HikingMan I thought this was planned and organized. You're saying it was effortless?

Everything in my profile was pretty much written off the cuff in 1 take. I'm not really much of a planner or editor. But no, not effortless. Natural would be a better description of what I do, but not altogether right either.

@HikingMan Why do you say that?

Why do I say what?
That it's not effortless, or that it comes natural?

Nothing in life that gets done goes without effort. Rhyming just comes naturally to me somehow.
But rhyme, and poetry are very imperfect mediums and what comes out isn't always what you intended when you started.

This rhyme here is inspired by my long-distance relationship with my girlfriend.
We never get enough time together and both of us are learning how to deal with that.

The stack of pillows beside me, are what I jokingly refer to as my Pillow Girlfriend.
This rhyme came out pretty much as intended.

Merry Christmas -or- Happy Holidays
Whichever you prefer.

Peace

@HikingMan Oh no, I'm sorry, I meant why do you say it's altogether not right.

Merry Christmas!

It's just not the best description of it all.
Though I do struggle to find a better word for it.

I write when I feel something, and then everything else just kind of clicks into place. More often than not, my rhymes aren't that good. Or at least I don't see them as such.
