Barbara Gorelick Poet Acrostic

Afternoon Nap

As the morning passes and afternoon arrives 
Full of the normal stress of  daily living
The urge to nap takes a firm hold
Eventually it gets to much to fight
Resting for just a bit seems right
Nobody to see me indulge 
Oh , to the couch seems a great retreat
On my favorite pillow I lay my head
Nodding off , listening to the rain

Now, I don't want to make this a habit, but
An afternoon nap is
Pure bliss…..

Robin Davis August 2, 2014 at 11:04 AM Barbara This write is making me drowsy and restful, because it is raining here and the sandman wants me to go to sleepy land. LOL Thank you for the great comment on my Heroes poem

Connie Marcum Wong July 16, 2014 at 5:46 AM Sounds so soothing. I love the sound of rain to lull me to sleep.

Robert Lindley July 15, 2014 at 11:12 PM That rings so familiar. I always promise myself that very needed nap but rarely ever follow up on it. I get busy and then suddenly it 's 10' o'clock at night and bedtime starts calling. Even then usually it is midnight or near it before I crash down. A fine write my friend. Very well done!!! Barbara Gorelick July 15, 2014 at 11:21 PM Thank you so much..I hardly ever nap either, but when I do it seems so lovely. And thank you for the mail..means a lot to me. BG
