Np My Snoring Wife

noise pollution
breaking night's silence...
sleepless hours

a roaring engine...
beside me
my snoring wife

a ticking clock
competing with...
the snoring sound

who will win?
let me see...
sleepless judge

I know the feeling and I'm just as bad. We snore in stereo.

I had a blissful snorer of my own once. Had to move into another room and put a pillow over my ears to get any sleep. He slept through it all. congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

Kashi, you can be so funny! A roaring engine set me laughing. I love it and just hope it isn't quite true!

For a poet who gets LITTLE SLEEP you sure write superbly! This is a fab entry for the contest. I wonder if the judge will judge better with less sleep just as you write well with little? Hmm....time will tell....tick...tick...tick...tick....Gwendolen

now why does everyone around her tell lies in their poems? hahaha. when I write about my snoring husband, THat is NO joke. Don't worry, Kash, I've got two other guys telling me in soupmails that what I believed was true in their poetry was just made up stories! Anyway, you sure did a great poem with that theme.

VERY clever, sleepless judge, I LOVE that. I bet you snore too, Kash. All my sisters and I snore but our DAD beats us all. hahaha.

Very very nice, I can relate as my wife tells me I snore - so perhaps she feels the same. Best of luck in the contest.

I love this one, Kash! I once had to share a hotel room with my sister and her husband. She had told me about his snoring, but most of the time snoring doesn't keep me awake. Once my brother-in-law fell asleep, the entire room vibrated. No wonder my sister chooses to sleep on the couch when she's at home. Great entry for the contest! Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn

Sometimes, partners are told to sleep in another room. You have a nice humorous write here.
