Notes About The Poem

tedious days and boring nights - how lucky can one person get?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Empty Nights

My palette is empty
after over-busy school
and tense homework.

By the time dark night
staggers onstage, sleep is my 
longed-for, sexy muse.

I’m greedy for sweet, 
numb sleep or perhaps to dream
love-flushed fantasies.

Your nights will never be totally empty if you can dream those sweet love-flushed fantasies. Happy Monday! John

I don’t mind boring school nights - but boring Friday & Saturday nights are a new pandemic phenomena =]
