Hahaha! This poem sounds all too real, except, at night I don't count sheep. I thing of fantastic things to write about. I plan it all out, while lying in bed. When I wake up in the morning, I've forgotten it all. Plus I'm still sleepy.
I love reading prose or poetry that I can relate to. This poem is not only rhythmic and fun to read, it's humorous and speaks to many writers. Best wishes in the contest.

I'm glad you found this humorous. I don't count sheep either but it seemed to work in that spot.

Comment from June Sargent
Lol I think we can all relate to this one. Our days can sometimes feel upside down. Things eventually will balance out once again. But it gets harder as we grow older. Just go with the flow.

Thank you, June. I really appreciate your review. After lunch is when I really feel sleepy if I didn't get enough the night before. I'm glad you got laugh and could relate.

Comment from Ric Myworld
You got me ticked with this one. I remember watching the parents and grandparents fall asleep most every time they'd sit down. And now, I'm one of those refuses to sit down during the day, knowing that I'll fall asleep too. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Ric. It is especially bad when you didn't sleep the night before and you just ate a heavy meal.

I feel for you, Beth. I often don't sleep, and almost never sleep over three hours in any night. But after a week or two I get to the point where I can almost sleep standing up. Then I sleep 5 or 6 hours straight, and the cycle repeats. :-)

Hi Beth... I hope you are having a really fun Friday! This is a great poem and you make it seem fun, amusing and laughable to have all of this ebb and flow in your sleep patterns. I can sooo relate. You chose a great approach of mono rhyme in each stanza... kept it interesting. Good luck.

I sometimes get like this, I'll start feeling tired so I get ready for bed but the moment my head hits the pillow I'm wide awake and the last thing I want to do is sleep. An excellent piece, Beth. I enjoyed reading it.

Lol. I love it - and I can relate. You composed a wonderful and clever rhyming poem, replete with both realism and humour. Sending best wishes for your entry - I'm sure it will do well.

Thank you, Wendy. I'm finding a lot of people claim they can relate. There is something about a computer that make me want to sleep.Beth

Sometimes the writing that we embark on every day seem to take charge of our lives, I felt more tired than my desire to fill goals, so I went sleep instead, heh, heh, beautifully written my friend, an excellent post, blessings Roy
