No Rest For The Weary

We all have nights like that, but I seem to have them too often, I toss and I turn till I can’t stand it no more and wind up at the computer with a hot tea in my cold hand, trying to think of something to write, today my mind is pretty well blank. Here goes when there is no rest for the weary.

No Rest For The Weary


Couldn’t close my eyes,
Just couldn’t rest,
Sometime the night tease,
Puts my body to test.


I toss and I turn,
All through the night,
Then I realize it’s time,
For now, rest isn’t right.


I rise and I shine,
Smile from ear to ear,
Serve coffee to those around,
Because I really do care.

Not a dull moment,
Another day that’s planned out,
Keeping busy with chores,
That’s what life’s all about.

Maybe later tonight,
As I rest my weary head,
I’ll rest through the night,
On my comfortable bed.

I found the trick is not to get weary during the day and rest then. Lady J

Very nice dear sis, I also know what its like to spend part of my night up with times on my hands, but that is when I put my imagination to work on my new book as I am sure you do as well.

Love you sis,
Selena

This is so good and I share in your sleepless nights. I run a schedule of about every three to four nights actually sleeping right through. Been this way for many years. Then feeling dog tired about three thirty in the afternoon. Ah, no rest for the weary. Loved this one....

Be safe,
Karen

Sounds great, after a hard days work
Why no? you earned it lay your head down
On that soft pillow and close your eyes
the sleep will come
Peace & Love Be with you

If I can't sleep, I just get up; then I go back to bed, my muse does that to me a lot of the times. A lot of mornings lately I have been rising between four and five a.m., especially since we got the computer! LOL Now the computer's on the blink, so I didn't get up early today. GRRRR!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)

When I toss and turn, I just say what the hell, and get back up.
maybe by four or five I can sleep. So what if I sleep till noon?
Nobody cares anyway.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
