Short Sleepily Poems

gentle drone
rain drums sleepily
on my metal roof...

Run, run, run yourself
Gently out of steam
Sleepily, sleepily, sleepily
Go to bed and dream...

evening
sleepily awaiting the sound
of her wings
startled by a white possum
advancing across the woods...

lazy friendships
oozing into them gently
sleepily
subconsiously
instinctively
without hurry
free flow
silences welcome...

She softly sings, soothingly
to the serious and somber Samuel
who safely and sleepily slumbers
to her sweet shushing serenade.

Sleepily, quite tiredly,
Tranquilly and languidly,
Wearily yet hastily-
Bowing to his Majesty
But less concerned and further burned
In all these tales of tragedy...

scented with sex
you lie sleepily on your stomach
like a boy
one leg bent up
spent and relaxed
rresh from the shower I 
reach under the covers
for buried treasure...

So slowly 
the setting Sun 
sleepily sinks into the Sea.

'Neath the 
crimsoning sky, 
silhouettes of fading light

accentuate
this day's hopeful
farewell and goodbye!...

Nearing the end of our summer days
Warmth and sunshine as sleepily we lazed
With the sun's warm rays
June's promising days
Looking to summer's quiet morning haze...

While I'm eating my muesli,
you're dreaming away.
While I'm hard at work,
you're sleepily laid.
While I'm relaxing at dusk,
You're stirring at dawn.
While I'm dreaming away,
you're day is reborn....

sleepily
I cozy up in my blanket
and stare at our Christmas tree
you sleep next to me exhausted
your even breathing is my song
and calm
my hand on your chest finds your
strong even heartbeat
I lay my head...

Mallards sleepily dabble
in a smudge of water.
Then an emerging sun flares 
from its coatless face.
Like dipping ducks,
muddy shadows dive
under mounds of stalky flotsam.
Vista’s crack open
their levees of light....

Hammock engulfs my placid form
Flowing gently to and fro
Breezes lift the wasps to swarm
And buzzing floods the air
I drift away eyes are closed
All alone no one is near
Silently the boughs they bend
Sleepily my mind retreats 
Dreams absorb from where are sent...

midst blue wintry haze
welcomed sunrays
find their way on tiptoe
and at bay window
the content kittycat
purrs sleepily

Leaping lilies leap after the morning rain.

They sleepily stretch seeking the sunny sun.

Silky, sassy spraying their scented perfume on the purple prairie.

Young, youthful lilies

frolic frivolously on the open field.

Then they too sleep silently under a starry sky....

Susannah sits savoring the silence
snuggled sleepily on the settee
enjoying espresso and eating éclairs -
she needed some space and solitude,
twins, the ‘terrible twos’ are so taxing!
Her husband’s taken Hannah and Holly
to a party at Pirate Pete’s play park.

Too old, all I can do is dream,
Love is great theme.
Sleep must be deep,
Kiss me asleep.

Fragrant Spring, bright flowers, no snow,
Flora on show.
Soft lips brush mine
Of cherry wine.

Sleepily I wake in foul mood,
smell of hot food
Sally smiling,
Kiss beguiling.

The wind sweeps to the west,
The cowboys laid to rest.

Beside a warm fire,
After reading "Jane Eyre."

And while the cowboys sleep,
In their dreams they gladly leap.

They're happy 'cause they struck gold,
They'll be rich 'til they get old.

"Yee-Hah," they sleepily yawn,
For now comes up the dawn....

Within you,
in my little universe,
I hear your soothing heartbeat,
my own life,
I just discovered my fingers,
floating in the warmth of
your womb,
as you gently sing
to me,
I marvel at the purring of the cat,
as she's sleepily nestled
up to your abdomen,
I'm a promise to be-
delivered to you from God. ~...

Morning’s slow embrace...
Showing her soft face,
Blushed and painted and blended.
Silks pulled ‘cross the sky,
Pastel ripples fly,
Hushed and rushed and splendid. 

Opposite the world,
Sun is sinking down,
Quietly and sleepily. 
The moon is pulled high, 
Her blue smile wide,
Lovely, friendly, but lonely. 

(This is an Alouette poem)...

mountains reached
for the sky
 sky smiled and
touched the stars
caressing the
heavens above
***Softly**
amongst the
cloudless skies
 aurora's dance in
delight
 moon smiles upon
her
****Sensually**
 milky way whirls
past
 the world spins in
delight
star dust falls
****Silently**
  blue full moon
waltzes across the
sky
casting shadows
intimately
****Sleepily**

Coots sleepily dabble
in a smudge of water.
Wisp-wings waft
on a surface mist.

Dipping ducks,
necks tucked into the half-light.
watch muddy shadows dive
under mounds of stalky flotsam.

Vista’s gather to paint
their levees of light.
A slight uplift opens
in a drape of sky.

Dawn emerges through reflection,
through liquid eyes,
a looking-glass sun
swims deep-up from above....

Sarsaparilla sneezes
Soda wishes blowing bees
past their lemon flower love
swish of air beneath their wings
Carbonated moments
When the lights pop on in minds
Blown to breathing labored breaths
bubble waxed until it shines
Tantamount to flying
Air to breath and stings to bees
whooshing past what might have been
to break emotion on the breeze
Pollinated lucid
Sleepily immerse the buzz
lighting carbonated wings
inflated to this flying love....

The laugh of the child
Frothy
Sugary
Rampant
Keen
Cuts through the haze
Buds forth the green
Scampered
Syrupy
Velvety
Honestly light
The laugh of the child

The cry of the babe
Frightened and lost
Snickery
Trickery
Spidery fright
Mother sooths
Early midnight
Mumbly
Kushushy
Sleepily lost

The mumble of the old man
Frothy
Brothy
Powdery
Toothlessly smacked
In arguing drivel snivel
Cracked
Yeasty
Doury
Dry
Earthbound
Dust...
