Tossing and turning from side to side. Trying to elude this nightmare inside. The midnight fantasy has come to a halt While univited guests are trying to assault. The scenario playing inside of my head Are of spiders and bugs creeping around on this bed. They creep and they crawl and they bump in the night. The terror I'm feeling is quite a fright. All shapes, size and colors looking so mean. They are the ugliest I've ever seen. Flies, ants, black widows and lightning bugs too. And here I am, without even a shoe. Swatting and smacking these creatures away. These covers are now in complete disarray. Tumbling and rolling I fall to the floor. Thrilled to awaken to a dream, nothing more. |

Being something of an insect collector, I feel the creepy-crawlies are a bit maligned. 'Tis an excellent verse. ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Eloise - Well, I hope the image of this one doesn't stay with me into the night. LOL ... I think I'll just stay awake. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
