Best Somnolence Poems

Reveling in the crisp fall weather,
Autumn dreams her time away.
Lulled by all the beauty 'round her,
Forgetting that good times don't stay.

Startled from her dreams when feeling
The first touch of wintry breeze,

Crust critters sew shut my eyelids
I struggle to remember my what-should-I-do-and-did’s
But I can’t crawl out or from under the sheet
The mattress sighs then , caresses my feet

His every curve,
Melting into her own.
The setting sun
Reflects from the lake
And dances across the ceiling
Like the aurora borealis

Falling into sleep
In noonday heat deep

Glare sleepy air
Flair prompts affair


Glare airy feel
Sleepy time wills


Glare sunny gaze
Choice mellows daze


Glare noonday light
Drowsy odd sight
