Sleepless Night

Lying down in bed,
Waiting to fall asleep,
I think of poems to read and write,
But I’m running out of lead,
Listening to my watch beep,
As I lie awake at night.

Excellent writing Walker. You are the one that makes my day, and like Raul says, stretching out at the end of the day helps us organize what has happenned and plan what will happen. Keep up your important work with poetry. You are a very creative person! Mr. Fuller
