Insomnia

soon comes coffee’s steep morning melody - no cheep all robins asleep 3:30 - much too early, when i arose, to aeropress the grounds soon the blessed send of true wakefulness and blend if my knees will bend i will make my way out of torpor unless my eyelids beat me down catch a dreamy cab beg a few more zees ~ their fab go for pillow grab back under the covers for i’m yawning; not ready for the cockcrow 3/7/2022

Here I sit at the key - bored... 1:52 a.m. Chicago time, searching for a rhyme... and up pops KR's 'Insomnia' ... That's omnia. ~ Mitt Romnia

Is that om-inous or an-om-ynous…something’s amiss when we miss sweet sleep but poetry is our stronghold. Is it buried treasure or a nightmare?!
