Rockman Pritts Poet Rhyme

Nodding Off

Sleepy eyes don't compromise
When Sandman makes his call
Eyelids droop and slowly close
As head begins to fall

Try to fight fatigue at night
But you will not succeed
Dreams demand their place in line
And we must all take heed

So close your eyes and drift away
In slumbers soft embrace
The stars above will stand their guard
So you can sleep in peace


Rockman

Debbie Guzzi April 26, 2011 at 8:18 AM Hi Randy thanks for the help would you mind writing me a soup mail and "fixing" the cadence so I can see it in my verse Limbs Akimbo?

Debbie Guzzi April 26, 2011 at 6:43 AM So nice to know you're watched over in your sleep by a loved one! Light & Love
