It's 3 a.m. I cannot sleep;
I can't believe the hours I keep!

It's enough to drive me mad,
To think of sleep I should have had!

I toss; I turn all through the night;
I give in; turn on the light...

It's 4 a.m. I cannot sleep;
I can't believe the hours I keep!

In the night, by desk lamp light;
I sit, I ponder then I write...

A gift of beauty, when thoughts do flow;
But as of late it has been slow...

It's 5 a.m. I cannot sleep;
I can't believe the hours I keep!

I want to drift into dreams,
But rest eludes me so it seems!

Against my wishes, I am awake!
Not much more can I take!

It's 6 a.m. I cannot sleep;
I can't believe the hours I keep!

It's enough to drive me mad,
To think of sleep I should have had!

It's 7 a. m. and at last Im sleeping,
until the alarm starts loudly bleeping!

Dear Catherine

You summed it up perfectly. My solution was to turn the alarm off. However the dog licks my face and the day starts anyway.
Pity you can not join me on a Wednesday night at Kirkpatrick Durham Village Hall, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland on a Wednesday night to play over 50s badminton. I always get a good nights sleep after that!
Keep writing

i know the feeling and trying so hard only makes it worse. Best to get up have a glass of warm milk and listen to the radio. Then try again later when... the dawn is just on the horizon!! :)

This is true of many writers, I suspect. You need to do something about this stanza:

A gift of beauty, when thoughts do flow;
But as of late it has been slow...

Maybe "A gift of beauty, thoughs ebb and flow" or something similar. Otherwise, it's obvious that you've inverted the line to get the rhyme word at the end. That's a no no.

This is so real and true to life. I can totally relate, having experienced it many times and you have expressed it so well in poetic form. Thank you for this offering, Catherine. Love and peace, Regis.
