Through Sleeps Veils

Through Sleep’s Veils 

through sleep’s veils
my feet battle blankets
as comets streak the bleak night

Sheets don't seem to like feet much. Nice imagery in your poem, Sally. Bill

I love this one. I don't have the issue of my blankets I when I fall asleep I sleep soundly. Not unless I take something that will make my legs have releases leg syndrome. Enjoyed reading.

I have Restless Leg syndrome too but dr RXed Ropinerole for it, which works to stop that but knocks me out, too. So glad you liked this haiku. Thanks.

Oh Sally, I can so relate. I thought I was the only one whose feet battle to secure a place under the blankets. Such realism. I truly enjoyed this. Well done.

Volumes! No, you aren’t alone. Jim sleeps with no tussling of blankets, but always has his feet left uncovered. Haha i suppose if our feet were truly flat, there’d be no issue. Perhaps there’s a suggestion box in heaven? Hmm…or maybe not 8-)
