Sleeplessness...who cares


Poem Artwork

This time in my life
Has many changes
And one is sleeplessness
I wake up and can't
Get back to sleep
Why, it's anyone's guess
I count the spots
Up on the ceiling
I count backwards
Many times
I sing hymns in my head
Then rock n roll
Until the church chimes
At which time I give up
And go downstairs
Where I don't care
'Cause I got
My computer there
I happily plop
Into the chair
And sleeplessness
Is no longer a care

Reviewed on February 3, 2008
You pen one closer than I want ... older I get, less I can sleep - doesn't help I need a new mattress, can't afford - my neck and back kill me - and there's my twin sis in the other room, snoring her ass off! LOL I hear you - maybe one day we'll get some rest. Excellent expression (in verse and image).

((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
