So annoying when you can't sleep!
My Right To Write At Night
by alexisleech
As I lay in bed the other night, my mind with words awash I wondered should I write them down? Or in my bed I’ll toss An hour passed by, and finally I grasped the meaning of addiction As I stumbled through the darkness to my laptop in the kitchen That mission done I did return, but sleep was not forthcoming Two cups of tea had passed through me to activate my plumbing! So up I got and wrote some more. God, please give me a break! It’s only poetry, I thought. Who cares, for goodness sake? At half past three I realised my actions were sheer madness and if my kids could see me now, their hearts would fill with sadness ‘She’s lost the plot!’ I wouldn’t doubt are words I’d hear them say She now spends nights before a screen, and sleeps for half the day! Such irony, I’ve got to say, for when they were in their teens Their nights were spent in cyber space, their lessons spent in dreams So, sorry Kids, it’s my time now, the tables have been turned My right to write whene'er I like is well and truly earned! |

I thought I would post this poem I wrote when I couldn't sleep one night because poems kept popping into my head! I'm glad to say it's a rare occurrence!
