Yawn!

Skipping Stones

If ever peaceful sleep
descends upon my brow,
oh the dreams I shall reap,
come quickly to me now.

And when slumber finally lay
gently upon my soul,
Insomnia's unwelcome stay
extracts tomorrow's toll.

Habitual.

I never have time to sleep.
I feel whenever I lay down that it is already tomorrow.
So your poem I actually found humorous.
Thank you for that.

I'm afraid that I induce the coma of sleep by stuffing myself with unneeded food..
or put on an audio book.

"Insomnia's unwelcome stay
extracts tomorrow's toll.".... especially hard for those who have to rise early

I know how you feel, I rarely

I know how you feel, I rarely sleep, but mine is due to stress and consteint worrying.
But sleep is highly over rated, you can sleep when you dead. ( lol easyer said then done though)
When i cant sleep i read, text, imagine myself talking about my least favorite thing to people that could care less. So i have to explain it, and it bores me, and hope i pass out. Or i make a cup of hot tea, and sip it and lay there till either i sleep or my alarm goes off finally.

The Cosmic Yawn

Yep, what they said plus: eyes closing but sleep eludes as if playing hide and hide. The world is aobut to be closed for business, for the day, until the cock crows. I want to shoot that cock. I want to shoot it with my inability to dream tonight. I want to kill the world for a z. Any haphazzard z. Two would be better. REM stands for remembering every midnight. - Be well my wonderful poet, The Beav - yours in writing, Lady A
