This concise piece pays a rousing tribute to the bath tub--whose warm
waters, soothing oils, and privacy enable us to exit that lovely world more equipped to face the one on the other side of the door!

A very well-written ode to the bath-tub that is our escape every day from the normal household activities when we can relax all alone in an aromatic foam bath.

What better item to create an ode to! I also love a bath and I like the way you made the reader think it was a favourite person to start with. I think I will go for a bath now... : )

Great poem to your tub. I'm glad another person besides me who write poetry about things. I once wrote a poem about the different uses for a stairway. It doesn't take much to impress me at times.

Ha!
What a fun little piece you have crafted to perfection. Love the twist and using the bathtub as your muse for this particular writing prompt.
God bless
Steve

Oh to have a long soak and be soothed before bedtime! This is an ode to the tub, a place where we unwind and contemplate the days events, much enjoyed, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Yes the tub, one of the most relaxing and when desired private times alone, the second line of the second couplet made me stumble with the flow " from the brink time and ag'in" it might be just me but this didn't seem to flow as well as the rest, a wonderful ode poem and entry for this prompt, best wishes****kahpot

    Thank you for the heads up...I was a bit concerned about that so I changed the 'abbreviation punctuation' and added a note... Your input is appreciated!

The photo did give the game away but the twist still made me smile.

An expertly written and constructed ode to the delights of bathtime, soaking in a tub. Ahhh such relaxation!

Best wishes for the contest. This should do well.

Blessings Julia
