Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Before I Sleep

my feet are bare
my hair is wet
fresh from the shower
my comforts met

best time of night
relaxed, content
thoughts of work gone
no need to vent

these calming hours
before I sleep
with pen in hand
my thoughts run deep

poetic lines
from my mind flows
at end of day
creativity grows

my feet are bare
my hair is wet
this is about as good
as it can get

Caroline Cécile Delacroix February 19, 2011 at 9:24 PM Quite pleasant to read, Francine. Your poem is well written, with great rhyming and a great rythm. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.

Constance La France February 19, 2011 at 7:04 PM So you my little flower are creative poetically at night, I am the total opposite, in the morning my mind is like an open flower, words bursting forth, you have penned a pretty and soothing poem to the soul, loved it~~

Carolyn Devonshire February 19, 2011 at 5:30 PM Definitely, this IS as good as it gets for poets. Once we're refreshed and relaxed, the muse takes over. Have you ever tried writing under stress? It just doesn't work for me. I love the comfy feeling I get from this poem so I think I'll kick off my shoes and wash my hair. Wake up, Muse, wake up!! Wonderfully uplifting poem, Francine. Love, Carolyn

Robert Pettit February 19, 2011 at 8:56 AM Nice simple descriptiveness and rhyming. This IS about as good as it can get for most of us. I have just sent you soup mail.
