Being bed bound is not a pleasant experience and we yearn to well again. I always look forward to my rest in bed, but would not like to be lying down all the time. I enjoyed your inventive poem and welcome to Fanstory, love Dolly x

Well done with your first poet, welcome to fanstory, you'll enjoy it here. I'm not very good at the loop format, you've done very well at it, congratulations, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

This loop poem, The Unseen Battle, has the proper formatting and seems to find the now invalid person realizing that the simplicities of yesterday are now the challenges every day.

Your loop poem powerfully conveys a sense of struggle and emotional confinement. The repetition of words like "bed" and "fine" emphasizes the tension between the appearance of normalcy and the internal reality of pain and stagnation. The imagery of the bed as a "gilded cage" is particularly striking, illustrating how comfort can sometimes become a trap.

Sometimes we all have those days when we simply don't want to get out of bed, particularly, I find, if it's a week day. I thought this was really well written and your writing flowed really well. Good luck in the contest.
