Nap Poems | Examples

Ornithology

Should you like to view the shrike
or have a butchers take a hike
to where they nest while at rest
but better yet sneak a peek
at the dancing yet docile
and stupid blue-footed booby
as it will make you smile
for they have no need to choose
a pair of blue suede shoes
and how to catch them
there's no secret you would keep
it's best when they're sound asleep
yes can you guess
if you dare when they nap
to snare one two or a few
use a blue-footed booby trap

Premium Member Love Can Be Grand - POTD

In spring we come out to see life,
out from our long cold winter's nap.
Bears are so loving not wildlife.
Love can be grand.

I am your big fun bear asap,
you are my fury playful wife,
I love to see you in gift-wrap.

Tonight we need some fun nightlife,
eating fish not from a flytrap,
using my big claws not a knife,
Love can be grand.

Premium Member The Power Nap

At night, I kneel before the dark 
Say my prayers and park 
Next to the swimming pool of dreams 
While losing consciousness 
I sing songs pretending to be 
The Dream Master. 
I dive into the dreamworld 
Submersing myself into lucidity 
Attempting to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. 

Daytime sleep is different 
Usually starts around 1 or 2 o’clock, a siesta! 
Usually, I begin by laying on my back 
Close my eyes, maybe wear a solid batman mask 
And prepare myself. 
There’s a huge pool of dream energy 
An aquarium bubble on the opposite side of Earth 
That’s ½ that’s in the dark ... all sleeping 
In this gigantic Dream Bauble 
So far away ... I lure it to me 
Singing my dreamsongs and as I close my eyes 
I lose clarity then regain it by “seeing” 
This Dream Bubble floating toward me 
I reach out and put it on like a backpack 
A Dream Battery Pack and I’m hooked in 
So much dream energy pumping thru my brains 
Both halves being zapped simultaneously 
So powerful, I only need about 
45 minutes to an hour 
To fully recharge! 

I love power naps!


Premium Member Power Nap

Trying to spring clean
And muscle spasms are a thing
So I’m forced to take pain pill 
And now I’m sleepy lost my will

So gonna take a Power Nap
Then give dust bunnies a zap
It sucks being chronically ill
Yet poetry gives me a thrill still

Premium Member wise dogs nap

My dogs like to find hidey holes
Putting their backs against couches
Curling themselves into dark corners
Sleeping where they can, when they can
Wiser than most humans

Premium Member a fireplace nap

dogs lie at my feet
worn out from constant napping
fire pops lively

i must take a snooze
taking a page from their book
a fireplace nap


Nanny nap

Greydar nap, second wind,
Wind swept rain, all good,
Good for plants, no sweat,
Sweat sun, good in hood!

(Loop poem).

Premium Member another accidental nap

I take a little nap
it was accidental
but still wonderful

the dogs are lying on me
so I cannot get up right away
they are delightful

neither has any idea how big they are
my feet are both asleep
but it was worth it

when I can rouse myself,
they go outside to romp and frisk about
I am a lot slower, but refreshed

a little nap on the couch
is something I look forward to
now that I am finally retired.

Premium Member Afternoon Nap

From a midday doze,
A glimpse of paradise I saw.
White light and puppies fumbling
In a meadow green and yellow 
Filled my heart.
I nodded forward to catch a
Glimpse of God's smile.
A forgiveness and a fulfilled spirit
I felt, as the whole of my heart swelled up.
Grateful and speechless,
I cried the tears of overjoyed innocence. 
And settled back to the now
Leaving my dancing dogs smiling 
And excited for our soon to be.
See you soon.

Premium Member dog mom tries to nap

this is the sleeping house
three dogs with full tummies
they snore away
these happy sleep sounds encourage me to nap
This will be my second nap of today
I cannot stop myself
I climb onto a couch
cover myself with a fuzzy blanket
wake up with dog slobber on my face
they want me to play

Premium Member trying to take a luxurious old persons nap

Tuesday of last week was humdrum said Cap
I had to take a luxurious old person’s nap
Boredom put me down hard, I reposed in a stream
Ready for an exciting adventuresome dream

My body loved it so much, he wanted another
But alas, I was awakened by my hundred-year-old-mother
Did you feed the chickens? The horses? The sheep?
I had to leave my castle and surrender my sleep.

Premium Member a nap in the sun

I lie in the grass
after it has been mowed
the sun is bright

I like staring into it
until I think my eyeballs will go blind

I close them
give a long sigh
there is a wild flower to my right

I pluck it and slowly close my eyes again
ready for a nap in the sun
in the grass
there is nothing better

Summer Fun

A warm summer sun
one eyed dog yawn’s and stretches—
Old man starts snoring

Premium Member Four Year Olds Need their Nap Routine

Insanely bad mood
Snippy and snarling
He is four-years-old
Fighting his nap time
Baby sitter folds

He falls asleep
at six o’clock
when parents come
to take him home

grouchy boy
cannot eat
wants his bed

routine
broken

sad

A nap

,,Just a nap in noon I'll take", I always say in sudden,
Since my eyes have already rotten, 
and my breath's beat forgotten.

My clothes full of cotton, 
sadly the Fabric foresworn, 
of all the drawn scorn.

And as my face touches the couch, 
I heard my mother from the other side of the room: ,,Don't jump so heavely in you grouch!".

My socks were dirty from work, 
but I didn't care of the later lurk.

So I kept them on, 
and even the Jacket full of sweat of you son I wore, 
now was like s blanket for me for sure.

I didn't care even I was hungry or thirsty, 
cause it didn't overcome my mind bursty.

Sleep overcame me like a incatation, 
,,Just a nap in noon I'll take" now was just a citation.

No I dreams had I think, even though humans get thousand sick.

On display I was hours or an inch, 
cause I didn't wanted to wake up ever since.
