Well, this is very good. I like the rhyme scheme you chose and the how you go into depth with informing the reader exactly why and what the pillow means to you, and how it is an everyday magical item.
Well done.

This is very clever, different and original. There are fun elements of humour which make it an enjoyable read. You have constructed it with thought and care. Best wishes for your entry.

The magic pillow poem is well written. The pillow has seen many days of happiness, sadness and worrisome experiences. The hugs and kisses, on the pillow, have feelings of many treasured feelings.

Excellent entry for the Everyday Magic contest.
Comfy pillows are the best. Specially when they smell like lavender.
The rhymes do not seem forced and your poem flows well. It draws upon emotions and it presents strong images.
Good luck in the contest.

This poem, My Squashy Old Pillow, presented in AABB-rhymed quatrains, credits the head-holder with years of being a faithful part of surviving life. Nice.

Your response to the prompt is spot-on. In this skillfully-written poem, you have conveyed a powerful message about the fact that it isn't just kids who need that special "blankey"--or pillow. :-)

That's so sweet. Oh, if pillows could talk - would they recount our dreams? I enjoyed the humor and personal gratitude to the everyday thing we rely on every night. Now if only I can find one that doesn't give me neck aches! Best wishes in the contest!

Wow, this is really creative! Excellent flow and grammar. I would have never thought of writing a poem like this. These are all the things we think, but are hardly ever put into words. Congratulations on this! I hope you win the contest!

Thanks for your enthusiastic review. I find I enjoy writing about topics other writers overlook.

Yes, this is a great entry for this contest about Everyday Magic - is there anything on the planet that sums it up better than 'a stained and squashy old pillow '

This is an excellent poem about a common object that is often forgotten (except by the My Pillow guy). You transform the pillow into a security blanket, always there to be familiar and comforting. Great entry for the contest.
