April Walter Skyy Poet Blank verse

Sheep Less Nights

I open my eyes and to my surprise I
was awake.
All I could see was tall dolls and 
people with shaws.
running down halls.
I pinched myself to try to wake up
Why can't I wake up for heaven sake.
I was trapped in a dream like state.
I walked down stairs that was made 
of chairs.
I jumped up out my sleep
and no one heard me not even a 
peek
Where I should have been counting 
sheep

Michael Eastman August 29, 2015 at 7:01 AM Thankyou for looking at my light poetry. Yes, I can see the images produced. Very much like a children's story. I'm still new to all of this. I usually just tell my tales at home, but Carol wanted me to share them. Michael

David Fisher August 25, 2015 at 6:38 PM Love the title to your poem, April. It's double meaning is perfect...along with your poem, too. The imagery with the chair steps really jumped out at me. I also have a sleepless night poem called 'I Dream of Sleep'. April Walter Skyy August 26, 2015 at 8:48 AM Thank you for stopping by... hope to see you again!!!
