This one was a challenge poem - the theme was 'ordinary made poetic' and given that Tracey Emin had had such an artistic success with her unmade bed the subject just leapt out at me....particularly given that I was still lying in mine at the time
My unmade bed, like Tracey Emin's
Is a work of art
Sheet rumpled, just so
The dent in the pillow
Showing where I laid my head
The duvet pushed back
The half read book
Toast crumbs and TJ's pyjama top
The sleeping dog
These traces of my dreams
