Listen to poem:
After I Sleep, After I Sleep This happens just beyond you know, A field of pleasure and delight, Where frost once held and now let free, Need I of sleep, so I must go. Think different should I remain, To set my sights, a righteous glee, A measured gift of wondrous hope, Yet, this event, I must abstain. Fortuitous, my soul needs rest, Grant me my eyelids that I cope, For fear what might return is snow, So journey on, methinks tis best. Arriving at my household door, My chambered bed awaits once more, I drift to angels harps galore, Just to awake from shallow snore. 2020 February 15 *3rd Place* Lines to Awaken your Muse ~~Joseph May *Honorable Mention* STRAND SELECT Q,any form ,any theme ~~Brian Strand Rhyme Scheme; abca, dced, feaf, hhhh Howmanysyllables; 16 lines x 8 syllables per = 128 syllables total
