Angela Crabtree Poet Couplet

Twilight

Ever so often when I can't sleep
I write so I don't start to weep

My husband snores a symphony
he falls asleep almost instantly

I wonder why I feel no glee
his arm is securely around me

I need to join him in his singing
if not my ears will start ringing

I will pray for safety through the night
it will soon become morning light

For then I can look into his eyes
once again it will be a bright sunrise

Paul Callus November 25, 2020 at 7:46 AM I know the feeling of not being able to sleep at night, for one reason or another, Angela! But eventually sleep sets in, and soon it will be time to "rise and shine"...reminds me of the Flintstones :) Regards // paul Angela Crabtree November 25, 2020 at 7:50 PM Thank you, Paul. I sometimes watch the Flintstones on MeTV :)

Caren Krutsinger October 29, 2020 at 5:04 AM I have a feeling it is his notorious snoring that is keeping you awake! Can you not muzzle the man? I have found my own room now, but alas, the dog sleeps with me and not only snores loudly but farts loudly too. This sounds like a loving relationship; you may need your own room.

Victor Buhagiar October 26, 2020 at 9:16 AM Poor Angela. It is no fun hearing a person snoring. But dawn brings happiness. Lovely poem ~~ Angela Crabtree October 26, 2020 at 1:48 PM Thank you, Victor. Yes, dawn does bring happiness. :)
