Late Night It's late this night and I'm a bit tired so many words go round in my head I have to sort them and put them to phrases before I will let myself go to bed Tomorrow my husband will look at me pitying "Your own fault if you can't stay awake today" But he doesn't have that inner urge feeling that makes me write down what I want to say If I was to wait to write down these words they will not come out as I feel them tonight So I will sit before my friendly computer and write and write till the dawn of light It's stupid I know, but it gives me pleasure tomorrow is only a few hours away I know when I have to get up in the morning that I'm worth nothing during the whole day But still I hang on to this precious moment my little blind cat is snoring in my lap I really want to finish these phrases so I can send them on to the internet web My little blind cat, she is so special I would, you could see a picture of her She 'looks' at me and she stretches softly and curls up again with a loudly purr It's half past three and time to go under a full day of work lays ahead of me probably they'll wonder why I look so tired they won't understand, so I let them be I know that you know what I'm talking about you have the same urge to write poetry that's why I dare to share my feelings and enjoy the feed-back if you will give it to me |

You describe it so well, and bring up an interesting question...I wonder how many poets in here are NOT night creatures? |

Thank you PK, but... When you are awake I will be asleep When you are alert I will be down deep When you set the alarm than mine will go ringggg Living in opposite worlds is an amazing thing Your evening begins and mine is ending (it's half past ten PM overhere now) Titia [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (edited 05-08-2001).] |

*sigh* Titia, I wonder why there aren't more hours in the day. . . but even then. . . would they be enough??? Excellent. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Yes I know the feeling very well and also since I am at home all day, how my computer calls me away from my garden work. The sun is shining and I need to get out there. Joyce |

Yep, I know these feelingsfar too well Titia. Hmm... I wonder if that's why I got bags under my eyes almost reaching my chin.  I think I should get some sleep now.  LOL means "laughing out loud".  |
