Sleep Amnesia

2AM

Can’t sleep 

Can’t catch a wink

Shut-eye is difficult when eyes are open

2AM poetry is the best Idea yet

This isn’t a Haiku is it?

Nope

It went on a bit too long

Plus, I think it has too many, uh…

What are those things called? 

Syllables

Right!

Counting Sleep (I mean sheep)

1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep 🐑 

Oh look, one jumped over the moon 🌙

Lullaby 

Rock-a-bye baby 🎸 

On a tree top

Because this makes so much sense 

And of course the bow would break 🙄 

Why are lullabies so true to life?

Moms sure prepare you for the real world early.  🌎

Insomnia

I didn’t think insomnia was possible 

Until it was my lot 

I can’t say I enjoy it much 

It’s an aggravating plot 

Wide awake at witching hour 

My brain has thunk a lot 

Some sleep would be a dandy thing 

But sleep my body’s forgot. 

Insomnia: sleep amnesia

    1. I don’t think saying ‘good is the right response. No, that definitely isn’t good. But glad I’m not alone. It helps when people can relate. 🙂 I hope you get some sleep. 💤
