Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

Dreary Dreamlessness

Lulled into a drugged dreamless sleep, 
She slips into shadowy sighs, 
Lost beyond her reach, somewhere deep, 
Unmoving, like a log, she lies. 
When she wakes, weariness remains, 
Is there a way out of these chains?

Andrea Dietrich June 1, 2023 at 1:12 PM I like this very much for the type of poetry that works in Line's contests!!

Sotto Poet June 1, 2023 at 10:07 AM Oh, the torment of a restless night's slumber, Joanna. It's an endless repetition of the same ordeal. I, too, have experienced such difficulty in attaining sound sleep in the past. May the stars align in your favor in the contest.

Victor Buhagiar June 1, 2023 at 9:25 AM Unfortunately, I wake up several times at night but am adamant about not taking sleeping pills. I don't want to get used to them. May you have a restful night.

Tom Cunningham June 1, 2023 at 7:23 AM Nothing worse than a broken night's sleep Joanna, it's the same night after night and you're stuck in a cycle. Good luck in the contest. Tom

Regina Mcintosh June 1, 2023 at 4:14 AM Love it! I've had trouble sleeping in the past. God bless you, Love, Gina
