Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Oh, Funny Night Owl - Lol

Oh, funny night owl; I relate
to you. I also stay up late!
My eyes, like yours, are mellow green
and staring too, but at a screen.

I stare at E-mails and TV
until I know that finally
I must retire myself to bed
and rest my weary night owl head.

I feel so rotten when I wake
I have to do a double take.
I see the clock. It's eight a.m.
I sit up grumbling, "Damn, oh, Damn."

Then brimming with new morning cheer,
I drag myself before the mirror
yet frown to see upon my face
those little lines I can't erase.

Oh, funny night owl. We're not wise
with circles underneath our eyes!
And now I get to look like hell
because I love the night so well.

John Lawless August 25, 2014 at 11:38 AM Be careful Andrea, you may wake up some morning with a field mouse on your pillow. Andrea Dietrich August 25, 2014 at 5:41 PM hahaha, that would not be so bad, my cat sleeps by my pillow!

Kelly Deschler August 24, 2014 at 10:37 PM I guess it is unwise for humans to become night owls, but, it is hard to stay away from that life!.... This poem was very humorous and it really made me smile! Nice work, Andrea! Congrats on your win!

Robin Davis March 1, 2014 at 8:21 PM Andrea Such a cute and funny write. I can relate because I have insomnia and its hard to sleep. Nice job Thanks for the sweet comment on my Birthday poem. Yes, my birthday was yesterday.

Jon A Cavanaugh September 17, 2013 at 12:44 PM Wow, This is a great poem. I love every stanza. Bravo!

Timothy Hicks March 21, 2013 at 11:22 PM As a fellow night owl I like this. There's just WAY too many things I must check up on before I hit the hay (and even when I do hit it I still, now and then, check my phone). My friend at work works at a coffee shop as well... she gets up 5 in the morning and goes to bed at midnight... I'm guessing it's all the caffeine. Even as I type this message it's almost midnight for me... fun poem!

Kash Poet September 23, 2011 at 6:48 AM Haha this is true for me also...I am a night owl.Enjoyed the humour here....But perhaps nancy wanted more..

Sara Kendrick September 23, 2011 at 6:18 AM We don't share the Night Owl personality..I am exhausted and ready for bed at dark..In the mornings, I can't sleep and have to get up be comforted though I look and feel the same way..Thanks for the encouraging reviews..Yes, I have written many Diminished Hexaverse. When I was trying to learn some new forms, I practiced on that one many times..Sara
