The reason I keep
notebook and pen right beside
where I go to sleep
is to charm the snake that keeps
waking me up with my* thoughts!
*(substitute ‘its’ or ‘your’ in place of ‘my’?)
Category: Sleep
“With A Little Help”
God woke me to say
‘I’m not done with you, just yet
so quit lookin’ low*’!
*(this and the next’un are about why I am supposed to keep the notebook on the table next to the flop so I can write stuff that comes to me when sleeping…)
“Making Sleep Work”
Cannot easily read
what was scribbled in the dark
when a good line came.
“Somnambulance For Sale”
Do I pay for dreams
from the easy bin or rough?
This sleep-shopping tough!
“Must Get Up And Write – Right Now!”
Notes, poems, haiku
die before my lagging arms
do as my brain bids.
“Protect Those Three Best Friends!”
Sleep on your back with
ankles crossed and do not move:
’round’ breaks feet, not balls!
