Excellent A Duo Rhyme Challenge for Potlatch Club Insomnia by Chrissy710

Sometimes I stay awake all night Although so tired with sleep I fight. With constant thoughts, throughout my head I toss and turn around in bed, I think I should get up instead, Maybe my hunger should be fed? Could start that book that is unread? But I'm so warm, the cold I dread, And not so easily misled, So stay in bed and stare ahead. Then when I'm sleepy, here's my plight Alarms go off with morning light. Christine 15/2/2019   Recognized Author Notes Thanks to Jan for this Duo Challenge A poem of either 10 or 12 line The first 2 and last 2 lines have the same end rhyme All the other lines must have monorhyme Written in 8 beat iambic tetrameter I hope my poem about insomnia meets the above requirements Some times It is hard to get a solid nights sleep and one either feels they have not slept, or sleeps intermittently, waking frequently, looking at the clock and wondering when sleep will come. THEN when one has to get up, the sandman arrives and it is too late. I wonder how many can relate to this Thanks to booklotto for the image Sleepy Hollow Thanks for reading my work Cheers Christine
