Nanny nap

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

sleeping during the daytime
babies and oldsters

complete peacefulness
daily doing what we want
having little fits

Premium Member A Luncheon Nap

I closed my eyes and
An array of colors were seen,
Like unto prismatic stained glass.
I saw it start to approach and
Watched to grow.

He takes his afternoon nap
She keeps watch on his rhythmic breathing
~ Moment’s peace while cancer sleeps

The Nap

He tried to take a quick nap
But kept hearing this very loud tap
So, he smoked a joint
Suddenly felt an anoint
Then quickly he started to snap

We've had lunch, it's playtime.
Grandpa's invite to share his favorite game.
See who starts snoring first.

The Long Nap

I took a nap,
and called it a life,
A ticking clock,
I imaged to be real,
sent me to dreamland again.
All my prayers now
are:

Please no more -
I get it!

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

The Nap

The Nap
Dr. James E. Martin
©March, 2014

He determined to take a nap.
His peers called him a sap.
He laid on the floor,
And started to snore,
It didn’t take long to adapt.

Nap

sweet angel
come with me
we'll rest
you are tired
a long day a terrible day
for you
cool pillows on your bed 
make it dark
take a nap
Daddy will be home soon
when you awake

Premium Member Cat Nap

My cats have their fun
       Then, they like to sit in sun
           On the porch they go
   Each one picks a chair that’s best
        Side by side, in cat nap rest

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

Summer Laziness

There’s nought on the rocky terrain,
These big words are too much for my brain,
After hindi. science and math,
And thee, thou, hast and hath,
So I’ll go take a nap again.

"mommy's Nap"

Little voices
Little feet
Little ones 
Make loud beats
That make mommy 
Want to say 
Sorry!
Because she just let 
Out a scream 
Not because your a brat
Not because your bad
But because Mommy 
Needs a 
NAP!

Cat Nap

Cat
Napping
At my feet
Dreaming of mice
Muscles twitching fast
You should be resting now
But instead you are chasing
Running as fast as you can go
Excited, you almost have him now
What will you do when you catch him? I ask.

My
bask in
July sun,
turns into yawns,
slumps in a long nap,
I wake up half asleep,
I want to blame someone else,
Is it the shade under the sun?
Is it my retired life and old age?
Why blame anyone, I had lots of fun.

Premium Member An Insomniac

Thoughts who won’t hush, they tell me
the mountains dance with praises
breaking through the mist, I see
splendid breath of still gazes
welcome to hope, bow your knee
see how His love amazes
soon slumber shall set you free

Cat Nap

Crawling, furry pet 
Aggressive, yet so lovable
Trying to get any sign of attention and winning it 

No worries planted in their feeble brains 
Attractive and a clever animal
Pleasurable extra family member, always keeping me busy!
