Ode to an Electric Blanket.

My Darling have you missed me?
As much as I've missed you.
Through a long and lonely summer
Nothing we could do
but wait until the Autumn
When once again we could embrace,
Enfolded in your arms
A warm and tender place
To lay my naked flesh
'Gainst your body soft and warm
To feel you getting hotter
Till I can bear no more.
Dear Lord! this heat is burning
Just one thing I can do
Leap from the bed
And switch you off,
Or down to setting two.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
I'll let your fertile imaginations make what they will of this.

I found a couple of little stumbles in this absolutely true and funny poem.,
but before I show where, I must admit, that in past years,
I have shown such a fondness for my electric blanket.

"Through a long and lonely summer"

"but, wait until the Autumn" Nice job! ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thanks Geez. I have edited as you suggested. Only another 8 hours or so and it's back to her warm embrace. Alex.
