Sleep

Contest Entry

Whom did you dream of in your rare sleep?
Twas not I wrapped in your arms for sleep.

Fate, miles, and vows keep us apart 
When love returns and torments your sleep.

Whom did you romp with this night last?
Twas not I for my body does abhor sleep.

Send your love to me on arrows swift
At night my heart grieves to restore sleep

To cover distance, fate and time
Love returns, I beg more sleep.

Okies Goldie you have the repeated word [sleep][it could be easier using -in sleep] correctly done now you have to get in the rhyming word BEFORE it, you use line 1 the word before SLEEP [the radeef] is RARE, rare is your word to rhyme with, so the word before Sleep in lines 1,2,4,6,8 MUST rhyme with RARE, that is called a [kaafiyaa]. You have time hon, Light & love
