What am I longing for so deep?
yeah, that’s it, I need sleep!
fluffy pillows
beckoning blankets
eyelids closed
my brain on hold
wish the sandman
brought extra pajamas
tryptophan, or melatonin
I long to make so many zzzs
in between lines of poetry
poems remaining, only three
till slumber I shall meet thee
and darkness closes down on me
and if I rhyme before I wake
I pray a poem I don’t make.
– Sandra Johnson
Love your short, direct lines. You have a knack of using rhyme when you choose and rhythm when you choose. Nice work.
Thank you, Nancy. Feel free to review more of my work. I’ve not gotten many reviews yet.
I agree with Nancy Ann on this one.
Thanks Linda!
