Writing 101, A Poem A Day: Day 3: Sleep
Poetry & Photography
Sleep: a world where our thoughts rule.
A place where reality is overshadowed by dreams.
A time when we transport our soul from the real world to the virtual.
For some, the hours we spend asleep, alone and in peace, are the best of the entire day; for others, whether haunted by nightmares or unable to fall asleep in the first place, not so much.
It’s time to think deeply about sleep. Dive into the pool of night and let whatever it is you find there take poetic form. (I hope this prompt doesn’t make an insomniac out of you!)
“Sleepy Kitty
Happy Kitty
Purr, purr, purr”
Sleepy Kitty
Happy with my kitty
So I wrote this little ditty
Why don’t you sing along
To the tune of this familiar song
Soft kitty, warm kitty
Purring on my lap
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty
Why don’t I too take a nap
My little ball of fur
Listening to you purr
Life is kind of a blur
But this is how I prefer
