Insomnia

soon comes coffee’s steep
morning melody - no cheep
all robins asleep

3:30 - much too early, when i arose, to aeropress the grounds

soon the blessed send
of true wakefulness and blend
if my knees will bend

i will make my way out of torpor unless my eyelids beat me down

catch a dreamy cab
beg a few more zees ~ their fab
go for pillow grab

back under the covers for i’m yawning; not ready for the cockcrow

Here I sit at the key - bored... 1:52 a.m. Chicago time, searching for a rhyme... and up pops KR's 'Insomnia' ... That's omnia. ~ Mitt Romnia

Is that om-inous or an-om-ynous…something’s amiss when we miss sweet sleep but poetry is our stronghold. Is it buried treasure or a nightmare?!
