Insomnapoet

Writing little rhymes such as this - there's little more as swell.
But a chore on this noggin, if you can't rightly tell.
I couldn't sleep a wink
the night my brain began to think,
"I can buy all the meds I desperately need, when these poems start to sell!"



NOTE: Far-fetched, but a man can dream.

Fortunately for us your lack of sleep has led to some great poems.

I suppose then that the price is worth it!... ha ha ha. Being a night owl has it's perks... and it's downfalls. In all honest if it wasn't for writing I wonder what other hobby would take up my time... thanks for reading!

Very nice. Indeed, one needs dreams. In your case, they might very well come true... Jack

I probably would get more sleep no doubt!... but I wonder if it'd be worth the price of losing inspiration... only time will see I suppose!

Nope... they don't! All it does is keep me up late at night with countless words flying in my head... *sigh* I guess an overactive brain is better than a dead one, no?
