Viv Wigley Poet Rhyme

Sound Asleep- I Wish

My nagging headache has resurfaced again,
a grumbling stomach as well,
the cold night has given me chattering teeth
and a murmuring heart gives me hell.
My breathing's developed a whistle-like wheeze
and tinnitus with matching tone,
I can't get to sleep with these noises I make-
why can't I just leave me alone?

Richard Lamoureux August 28, 2016 at 9:17 AM Ha ha, a fun one Viv. Mind you if it were me it would be a nightmare come true. Viv Wigley August 28, 2016 at 11:21 AM Thanks, Richard. I tend to sleep fitfully, and my dreams get wierder. Still, better than no dreams at all... Regards, Viv

Connie Marcum Wong August 28, 2016 at 3:18 AM This gave me a laugh Viv and I sure needed one. I fell last night coming up my stairs trying to pickup a heavy glass water bottle, I lost my balance. I fell on both sore knees and plowed into my book case head first so I am feeling whip lash. There has got to be a poem somewhere in there!; ) Viv Wigley August 28, 2016 at 11:22 AM I've heard of getting your head into a good book, but that's a little extreme, Connie. I hope you are, unlike the front and back of the book, recovered. Viv x Eve Roper August 28, 2016 at 10:29 AM Oh, Connie I hope you are ok :(

Ava A. Carlton August 28, 2016 at 1:18 AM Sure like your rendition of a sleepless night. Will also be submitting one soon. Viv Wigley August 28, 2016 at 1:29 AM Thanks, Ava, nice of you to pop by, Viv x
