Testing

Five, four, three, two, one I should be going to sleep Is anyone there? It is hard to talk To the precious one snoring Sleeping so soundly I toss and I turn Trying to find real comfort I take a deep breath Foolish wandering Leaves me wide awake tonight Idigestion too! What was I thinking? Coffee, tea, and chocolate! Drastic recipe It does serve me right Such indulgences all day Have a consequence Empty the full mind Testing the limits of time Will catch up with me Tomorrow will come Bringing new conversations I must be ready

Anyone who has had trouble sleeping can relate to your words. Too much coffee keeps me awake too--and here I sit with my cup. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Keep on writing! Karen

All that caffeine is a bad receipe for sleep...Keep the creative pen flowing... Sara
