Snoring

Saturated, each labored breath holds the weight of a jet plane, rumbling through closed bedroom doors, booming with echos down the hallway's extension, unfaltering to continuous clock ticks, rattling with shouts above the pounding rain, penetrating through cork canal barricades, brazen and relentless in the hour of rest. 6-25-2021

This made me smile, especially the final lines (my hubby has a bad snoring habit!)

Oh this is a perfect description of the "rumbling," "booming," "bone "rattling" "penetrating," "pounding" snoring!!! Well done my friend! All of us can relate. Congrats and high fives!

Juliet, What is this place, what is that sound. Where were you when I was not around. Asleep. -Richard

Thanks, JCB. My husband inadvertently inspired this one.

Wow! To think that 'snoring' is all that! A symphony in 7 parts! ~ Gershon

I couldn't sleep the other night, so I thought I'd write about the experience.

Brilliant! I can relate to this. Everyone in my house snores, including my dogs. :-)

Wow, that's awful. My husband snores intensely enough for the whole family.

Well written, Juliet. I am certain it has plagued many a relationship and caused the demise of some.

Yes, unfortunately my husband is a horrible snorer. We both sleep poorly because of it.
