White Striped Pyjamas

these are thoughts on my night pyjamas

Sticky with sweat

all around this life.

White striped pyjamas

my only solace.

They are loose

comfortable and easy

to wear.

Can tighten them

around the waist,

and slip into them

in a haste.

It has a drawstring,

feels like a tight rope of hope

yet slippery

and may choke.

It keeps life simple.

Devoid of creases

if well kept

and it may itch

when not washed.

I keep them safe

down my wardrobe,

when in need

I look at them

and heed.

I hate to borrow

or lend my pair of pyjamas.

Bed time, lifetime

Be it anytime

you need a pair of these

to remind you of ease.

Ode to pyjamas! Unusual and unique.

There is nothing like the comfort of pyjamas, regardless of the season.
Much better than the dreaded onesie's that people sleep in nowadays!

A unique poem, on a very simple theme.

Nice. Not enough is said about the simplest of pleasures in life, and I for one consider them my indoor clothes. Why wear a shirt and tie at home, when you can slouch around in comfort. :)
Pyjamas rock.

Well I think this is a really nice way to portray life lessons. PJs help no doubt. I like it much ^^ Definitely one way of relaxing or keeping it simple when life's rough or hectic ^^

[A.H.]

hehehe. I was trying to have a fun take on PJs. It exists with us always and we don't really notice or attach any importance to it. So, this poem is to kinda appreciate it's presence in my life, for all the comfort it provides :)

Yeah, just threw in some life lessons in between, too..
Thanks Errenn for dropping by !

Pyjamas are easy and comfortable.
So they inspire me to take it easy when things get rough.
