Sleep Tight

Sleep Tight


all his heroes wore costumes at night
wrapped around all their muscles so tight
his chances grew slim
at an outcome so grim 
when his costume exposed – cellulite

John, coming back here to answer the comment you gave me about your love of poetry and seeing forms when you judge. I hope my rondeau was one that served as a good model for you of that form. I just love rondeau!!

Speaking of "sleep", I still need you to alter "sleep" to "sleek" on your comment on my poem "At the piano". Thank you... You can do this via your outbox. ******* I enjoyed your poem.
