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.

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.

A dreadful malady which affects so many people. Nicely-written, Juliet.

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