My Bower as I like it.
With care I choose the color tones of mauve for my suite
a nice fireplace to warm me when it’s cold at night.
comfortable chairs to rest in when I feel a bit beat
a television to watch, computer, phone all sheer delight.
My own little piece of heaven when the day is done
to talk to the girls and plan what to wear this week
prepare for the ball our King has planned for our fun
it should be great! A dance with the King I hope to seek.
My bedroom has a king size bed for me to sleep in comfort
not fancy though, I’m happy with what I’ve chosen for myself
Red satin sheets to lay on while I sip my lemonade and port
I love to read in bed at night, I chose a huge bookshelf
with books all kind of stories that will fire my imagination
to create my poems that please my poetic senses to write.
Outside my window scenes of beauty fill me with fascination
to look outside among the flowers that bloom so bright.
a pink en suite I choose to have in my special room
a bath with a glorious spa to relax me each day
I fill with fragrant perfumes that helps me groom
myself for each event selected on the board display.
My dressing room I choose a dress and shoes to wear
the blue one will suit the meeting with our King,
to boudoir for quick finish of groom on my hair.
I smile with joy, oh what fun this night will bring.

Such good poetry
It's like a Serial, a terrific continuing story, except it isn't fiction, is it?!
-
-
Yep, it's all fiction Ellis. Thank you for all your comments.

You have it all!
Everything a girl could wish for,
I see it here in verse,
I couldn't ask for anything more,
Perhaps a Cartier purse!
You've said it all so well,
Please, I want to visit your room,
It sounds really swell,
Can I come real soon?
Love and Hugs,
Petratani

Dear Petra,
Yes, I'm very lucky I have it all in my home away from home, it's wonderful that we can escape here away from all our cares and live in luxury.Please come and visit me, I'd love to see you and we can sit and have a chat together.

I'll have to borrow some of your books because I neglected to add a bookcase to my list of needs for my Bower. Yours sounds relaxing, mind if I kick off my shoes and visit? Lovely. I am a Scorpio and mauve is the color that best suits my fancy when I want to be mysterious and alluring. LOL Very nicely decorations. I wish you the best in our challenge.

Dear Renee, You can come and borrow my books anytime you like, it'll be a pleasure. Visit anytime you want to kick your shoes off.

Hooley dooley
Dear Cousin Jen,
Well, this is a great bower you have chose to decorate.
Red satin sheets WOW! you'll be slippery sliding all over the bed!
But you have got it pretty well set up and very comfortable. I'll come by and visit and bring some of my devonshire tea with me.
Love Hine.

Dear Cuz,
come by anytime and bring your gorgeous hunk of a Husband with you. I thought for sure that you would have satin sheets, but then again they are a bit slippery and I wouldn't want to see you and Heath slide off them HAHAHAHAHA YOU SM's YOU.
Love Jen,

Dang...I forgot to add a bookshelf to my bower.
But maybe you'd be so kind as to lend me a book now and then? We could even have some coffee and my homemade cookies, maybe get to know each other. 
Your bower sounds beautiful!
-
-
You can visit anytime trista and choose any book you'd like to read.
Coffee sounds great, I'll look forward to your visit.

My, what a beautiful living space you have chosen... red satin sheets..whoo hoo....but I would fall out, I just kowo it...if I had em. I go for jersey or a good weave count.... lol
-
-
But they feel soo good Carol, even though they do make one slide a bit too much.
-
-
This would be so relaxing and beautiful! I love the pictures you painted of your choices for your bower. Absolutely lovely. Best of luck to you!

Hi Elisa, I think it's great that we can design our own Bowers, don't forget to pop in and see me and we'll have a cuppa
together.

This place would be a serene resting place for an active lady-in-waiting, it sounds delightful. I enjoyed your verse as well, very clear and well rhymed. Good luck!

Dear Margaret,
Thank you for your lovely comment.
It's nice to have a place to go to where we can all relax and get away from our every day life, let our hair down and just have fun

YOU GET A SPA?
hmmmf we have a bowl of stagnate water (which i am convinced the lochness monster lives in) and our bower looks like something out of a new york sewer and you have gold walls and a spa? RIPPED OFF MAN!
well, atleast we dont need to clean
Til

-
Yeah Til, it's beaut hey? My own spa..You little beauty!
You too could have all that instead of living in the smelly tower with Mia, you both could.
As the Kings Grandawters you both have to set an example.
Love Jen. PERKCAO

A serene setting, indeed!
I'm sure the King will be pleased with your tastefully decorated, comfortable bower. I pictured a scene from a Disney movie with you as the star, putting on your nicest clothes, taking a quick peek in the mirror before you greet your special guest, the King! Very nice atmosphere you've created! I really enjoyed my visit!

You're welcome anytime
Thank you dear Maureen,
it's beaut that we can decorate our own Bower's and I'm sure the King will be busy visiting all his faves. I enjoyed your visit also, please come back again.

Such a lovely suite you have designed, Jenelda And as the kings comforter, please beware that he loves such comforting ... he does have some aches and pains, but me thinks some of them are pure convenience
A pretty cool poem
Good luck in the contest

Thank you Dee, I'm very pleased with it and I'm sure the King will be regular visitor to my Bower and also the King's massage room where I massage his aches and pains. There is also a massage room for the guest's so please come along when you feel the need to be pampered.
Jen.

Quite descriptive and detailed...I'm impressed. So does the King actually grant our requests or is this just our wishes? I'll have to get over to the contest and see. I wonder if Hugh could comment for me too, that darn lucky Heathcote!
It sounds lovely, but the pink...not a guy color...mine will have to be black.
-
-
The King grants all our wishes Yemmm no matter what they are.
-
-
Dear PERKCAO,
We notice your detailed request,
specific colour schemes,
and we will do our very best,
to fulfil all your dreams.
We think you did forget one thing
we'll add so you are able
to do your duty to the King -
and that's a massage table!
To use your bed to do your work
would not be very meet
for, when you send King Hugh berserk,
he'd crumple your red sheets!
A splendid entry. Good luck in the contest,
love and hugs, XXX Hugh R.

Goodonya matey
Dear King Hugh
thankyou Sire for granting my wishes as to how I want my Bower decorated.
As for the massage table that is in the special massage and meditation room for the Kings use only, away from the guest's massage room.
when summond by the King I hurry each morning to give my King his massage, and if at night when muscles taut you summons me to relieve the tension. and if by chance the cramp returns in your gammy leg and back an extra massage must be administered post haste on the private one you are granting me for my rooms.
Thankyou Sire for your lovely comment.
Love Jen

Dear PERKCAO,
Thankyou for your entry in this Huguenauties contest.
As I do not own a computer but use Hugh’s from time to time, I have asked Hugh to comment on my behalf on each entry to save my travelling across town each time.
Thankyou for understanding and excusing me.
Good luck in the contest.
Love, Heathcote.

-
Dear Heath,
Thankyou so much for commenting on my entry and appointing our king to comment for you.
Give my love to Hine.
Love Jen.
