Best Naps Poems


Premium Member Naps
Needing extra sleep 'cause
nodding off in day time.
Nestling on the couch or
nice and comfy on bed.
Not just for small children;
night owl activities
necessitate a nap.

Is there any better sleep than an afternoon nap?

I think not, my Soup friendlies

Hands down, it's like I imagine what heaven is like

Not that I'm in any big hurry to make the trip

I really don't advise doing this if you haven't retired yet

Your boss could...

Naps In Your Nice Hair
My hair fills the circumference of itself
And takes up space with little help
It goes the only way it knows
In tightly bound cornrows 

In church the preacher talks about my hair
To entertain everyone there
Saying 'comb out your unchristian naps!'
Someone says 'Amen' and claps

I cannot change the...

Naps Hurt
I took a nap on the sand at the beach
A  little tan was the goal to reach
Didn't realize I was that sleepy
Until my body burned completely
Went from being light skin to peach

Premium Member Sunday Naps
The best naps are Sunday afternoons
In the end of May before the start of June
When the world seems at peace a gentle ease
With a rebirth of green from dormant seeds
After showers of April rains
And the lawn mowed from Saturday
Sweet as the breeze of a mild...

Einstein's Micro-Naps
I feel like I'm still in a state
of dreaming
as my body floats
itself to a chair
and I stare blankly
at the air.
That state of
calm.
Like floating
on smooth water
in a daze
and quiet.
Like the peacefulness
after a hurricane..
everything is calm
and silent
as you see the sky in front of you
open
and you float.
Every...

"If I could nap as peacefully as my cat, that would be amazing." From "Love to Know"

Never do I sleep like
Normal folks. Even at 
Night, pills keep me asleep!
Not listless, I still think
Nice it would be to just
Nod off when I wanted,
Navigating day – dreams....

Nap are my three kittens taking.
Napoleon stretching, waking,
Naiad naughty and quite faking,
Nipper so, so hesitating.
Natural love warmth they're bringing. 
Need their sunshine and most loving,
Needed snuggles as they're shoving,
Nipping, to get away; rushing.
Nuisance at times, but adoring.
Nap time once more they'll be taking;
Nymph of nature...

Taking Naps Caused a Mishaps
Taking Naps Caused a Mishaps

What I was told about taking knaps,
They may cause a mental mishaps,
Shortness of mind,
After left behind,
Which will be of time a long lapse.

Nap
Babies like them
Angers toddler child
Cranky attitude puts me there
Research says teenagers need them the most
They are the hardest to convince
Bones and teeth need them bad
Old people game

     Stretched out,
     On a daycare cot.
     Told to take a nap,
     Didn't want to!
     A lot!
     I might miss something,

A Mischief of a Creature

There's a special bond,
Between a cat and a man.
They're a perfect union together,
With love at its center of hand.

He loves to investigate things, 
But that's just what cats do.
If it meets with his approval, 
He's meowing a thing or two.

He can...

Premium Member Dog Tired Sigh
There's the dog
With his so worried eyes
Dog tired
Emitting a sleep lulling sigh 
Still concerned 
That's he's a good boy
Tucked in, beautiful, delicate paws
Face wrinkled 
Slight eyebrow raise 
As a seagull flies by
Lives don't need saving today
The room is safe and still
Rest on little boy
Just until...
Walkies....

Premium Member If Only We Could Turn Back the Hands of Time
I loved a story at bedtime,
but I could do a nap in the daytime.

Before I knew it I was nine,
boy was that a great pie made out of limes.

I would then go back to my prime,
and really really shine.

There would be no more jobs that...
