Poem Artwork

Up all night I have mostly been,

Whats the difference it ain’t no sin,

Just started to sprinkle quite hard,

On the roof where does live this bard…

 

Cannot sleep for some reason,

Am I depressed waiting for the spring season,

Not too very outside or in for that matter cold,

Maybe my sleeping schedule is off cause I am getting old…?

 

Rain on the roof does make me sleepy,

Better than having depression making me weepy,

Sleep I would rather be doing, as to sleep is to dream,

Maybe I cannot sleep cause I did too much, before bed, ice cream…?

…5:10am

Damn, man, I know the feeling. I wake up every morning at 3 whether or I want to or not. If I remain in dreamland until 4:30 or 5:00 I feel like I've really slept in.

That can do it to you. I woke up too early 4:30am but will hit the sack and see if old sand man will return my lost sleep. No snow as yet but warnings abound.
