This week let’s write a sleep poem. It could be a lullaby or a lament for lost sleep. Just write something and don’t forget to post it in the comments below before nodding off.

I walk downtown, past the old pizza shop
along uneven slabs of cement
the cat, with her kitten in her mouth
striding with all four paws off the ground
walking, looking from Kenny, getting the car
4:52 AM, dazzled by the harsh glow of an old LED clock
two more hours
I go back, looking for that cat

Opps. “” aren’t picked up…

(but Kenny died in 1987)

I must remember:
do not read or write poetry
before bed.
It is much too stimulating.

A Lullaby
When the wind blows
The trees grow old
My baby’s in a sleep
All my worries unfold
When the sun rises
The new day begins
My heart’s filled with hope
watching my baby grow
