Icelandic sheep

I'm sleeping,
The most beautiful,
State in the world,

For pillow,
I have a sheep,
And for mattress,
Tall grass,

It feels good,
The contact with nature,
Certainly helps a lot,

I don't want to wake up,
I want to stay like that,
And keep on dreaming,

The fluffy sheep,
And the green grass,
Both make wonderful allies,
To enter Morphoeas arms.
Here is a poem that has been inspired by the quick doodle of my good friend :iconblackcatsrule: that you can find here:

You can listen to me live reading it on the 5th episode of my podcast that you can find here: [link]

Poem detailed explanation:

So while I was looking for a picture to write a poem on, I tumbled over this one and I really liked it. It's a very simple one though very cute. Well to continue with the same structure as explained on previous episodes, I start describing the obvious, the guy is sleeping, there is a sheep and there is grass. And as I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, and I really love that, I just put that before the description because that's really want I wanted to emphasize on. To do a simple comparison of the grass for mattress a the sheep as a pillow.

I don't know if you ever tried to sleep on grass but it's very conformable, and even if I never used a real sheep as pillow, I already touched one, and it's very soft, so it could very well do the trick and that's what I wanted to tell in this part, encouraging people to sleep on the grass, with cotton as pillow.

Again I emphasize the fact that I love sleeping so the character must love sleeping too.

For the finish I repeat the general ideas, and add a bit of mystery to it by including the greek goddess of sleep.
