Late Night Mumblings

And yet again
It's 3am 
Before I crawl to bed,
my eyelids drag
Like airport bags,
My limbs have turned to lead

Again so late
And no dream state,
I'm sure that it must be
Since I've run out
Of wool to count,
The sheep are counting me.

Great imagination, fantastic twist in this little verse. You say a lot with so few words - really like! :)

Ha! Ha! Very clever, although I know not being able to sleep isn't funny. Enjoyed your poem. Kim
