Premium Member Bedtime

My brain is wound,
my thinker is down,
and I am bedroom bound.

My day is done,
gone is the sun,
and I am bedroom bound.

Snowfall

snowfall
bedtime and the dogs
all cuddled in

Note: For Turbo, Charger, Zeus, and Pip--my four little bed warmers!

Now I lay me down to sleep. 
A leaden heart is mine to keep.
If I should die before I wake--
Now there’s an offer I’d gladly take!

Tomorrow

Six minutes until bedtime.

Another sour day of my life bled away

Sixty years until death-time,

Tomorrow is just the reincarnation of today.

Soft, warm, big pillows.
Flannel sheets, sherpa blankets,
Warm cat, at my feet.

Puss In Boots

I loved it
When she walked naked
Into the bedroom
Only wearing
Her hiking boots
Kind of reminded me
Of a children’s
Bedtime story
… Well… sort of

Long week finally wrapped up.
Extra dash of old spice before bedtime.

Sleepless Night

Sleepless Night

Bedtime rituals
To have a good night’s sound sleep
Turn off light, no tea
Goes early into the bed
Busted by a roommate’s noise

Premium Member Good Morning And Goodnight

Why are the two words in goodnight very close together
And in good morning the words are separated from each other:
Simply because by bedtime we are cuddling together.

Bedtime

When I was five, bedtime was pretty cool
At nine O clock I would go brush my teeth
I got some goodnight hugs and kisses too
Then it was "lights out little man, sweet dreams"

Dreams drift while dancing in my bed
A million stars dangling overhead
I'm hypnotized by their shimmer
My eyes dazzled sleepy by their glitter

Bedtime Is Calling

Time for bed

A laugh a minute is what they said
Soon after that I was brown bread
Cockney slang for very dead
Before I had even said
It's time for me to go to bed

takes two, to tango

heated dancefloor, or bedtime

two now intertwined.

Premium Member Quietude

Small songs at bedtime,
a chorus of night music
aloft from carpeted moss

Crickets are hidden 
with a cadence and rhythm
soften the weariest night

Bedtime Poem

Angel dances by the pond
Like fairies all night long
Music playing
All voice chanting
Moonlight shinning as they go along
Singing the night away 
Sending good dreams all night long.

August Bedtime

Scent of apple
Scent of pear
Scent of darkness
In the air.


Breathing starlight
Dreaming moon
Lullaby's
A cricket tune


Back-porch hammock
Soft and deep
Sways mw into

Premium Member A Little Advice For Working Poets

Working poets do not have too much time
Before they know it, it's almost bedtime
   They need a little advice
   So here's a generous slice
Shoot words from your lips, and hope that they rhyme
Form: Limerick

Together

We run and play
Together
It's time to go inside
Together
At bedtime we sleep
Together
At dinner we eat 
Together
Before we leave we pray
Together
We want to stay
Together
We wanna die

Premium Member Last night, I had to shoo me away some sheep

Last night, I had to shoo me away some sheep. 
Having to count 'em was keeping me from falling asleep.
Tonight, I do battle
with a big herd of cattle
that somebody, I’m sure, has prayed the Lord to keep.
