Sleep writing

If sleep was a meal I’d be starving Malnourished despite my carving Out a routine for sleep in my bed Pen in hand and sandy words in head For poetry soup soothes my soul Relaxes my mind helps me grow Challenging me to write all night Since I’m not asleep may as well right Write what’s wrong from my view Write whats right also a to do Finally my muse comes for me Just as I feel the feathers of sleep

It's funny how things which plague us can fuel creativity. I really like the first two lines of this.

Ah, those feathers of sleep. Their time is peccable! (If 'impeccable' is precisely perfect, I figure 'peccable' must be the opposite!). lol. ~ gw

I'm awake at all hours, years of shift work has put my body clock out of sync. Some inspiration comes at strange hours when it's peaceful with no distractions. Enjoy your weekend Karen. Tom
