Counting Haiku

Dreaming in my sleep
Instead of counting sheep
Haiku measures keeping me awake
Am I loosing it for goodness sake

Many a Haiku I've formed at night
Then forgotten before daylight
Am I overcome by the Haiku ghost 
Of some muse's soul who was toast

great poem, I too come up with my poems in bed and then forget them by morning. I added a post to my poem you commented on.
