Eyes wide open,
cant fall into slumber,
will counting sheep work
hmmm....i wonder?
The sound of silence
the world asleep
Why am i awake,
and they get to sleep?
I've tried the tea,
I've read a book,
Ive even dusted all the nooks?
I bathed the dog,
and groomed the cat
even drinking warm milk
wont help me relax!
I moped the floors,
I polished the table,
I watched a 2 hr movie
on cable?
Now here I am, writing u
this poem, just me & my
laptop in the dark all alone.......

snnnooorrrrrrrreee.....
WOOPS,
the alarm just went off!
AHHHHH
Rise & shine!
Time to greet the day????!!!!!!
aaarrggghhhhhh.......

Well, it was a pleasure
writing this evening thanks for the company?

Very nice, you used your time creatively, dear dreamgal!

Usually I have no sleeping problems, but every now and then it happens that I seem to interchange day and night and it isn't exactly funny to live through the next day yawning instead of breathing ...

I fear many can relate to your pertinent poem.

Love and happy dream time!

Thank you both for your comments lol.
I am awake a few hrs later not a great sleep
with a sick child in the house who stayed home from school.
Thats life I guess, lol.

I enjoyed your poem, dreamgal.  A suggestion for your insomnia is to read easy1's poem, "Over that Way" and breathe it all in deeply.
