Go to sleep, Marsupial, In top branches the morning sun has warmed. Close your eyes, Pouch outside Until safe at night We’ll rise. Go to sleep Marsupial, Through ice age We’ve survived. Close your eyes, Long stretched love, Settle in God’s little glove. Go to sleep, You have worth, My curling tailed Little Love. Go to sleep, Sleep away the coming light. |

Can you tell I am a good bit noctural and somewhat diurnal, gone without sleep?!!!! Now that I'm awake, I'm cracking up at this. Who said to write down things in the middle of the night, anyway??? Sadelite |

But if I didn't write in the middle of the night I might not write at all? *G* LOL... thanks for the smiles. *G* |

this was really enjoyable...perhaps you should consider a series of animal lullabys...seriously... |

Thank you all for stolling around my yard in the wee hours. I laughed at the thought that I had taken the voice of a Mama opposum, but on my way of work, I started thinking that it might be the beginning of writing and illustrating a child's book--got to do something when I retire! Steavenr, you may have something there! I've got a couple of ideas up my sleeve now, but who knows, a book of animal lullabies might be refreshing! After your comment, my husband wants me to write something that depicts the swish, swishing of our cow's tails. Now, how do you put that to a lullaby. Interesting dilemma! |

Well that is surely a title and theme unkown to me. Sleep indeed little marsupial. And beware headlights they are lights disaster. Night Day what difference, if thou prefers the nocturnal fare thee well. Myself I too often get started on writing, painting, music finding the light has become dawn impending. Guess that makes me Triurnial or better said (hopefully) Acrostic comin your way Time to work that third movement calls again Right past midnight plentiful muses abound I sip cooling tea deciding last canvas call Usurps music moments only careful balance Rule no paint touch instruments I admire Now a powerful Plath quote suiting novel Adding one to trilogy of paint brush Last playback I keep promising writing Now the third movement approaching done while In just a moment the paint will be dry write Gleaning fragments noticing time for work Head out in sunrise another Triurnal Night Where rainbow touches earth gentlest glow twilight abounding promising the Orchestra Will Play Tonight |
