Sleepless Poems - Poems about Sleepless

Sleepless Dogs are howling. Cats are yowling. Stomach's growling. Just want a nap. Mowers mow. Blowers blow. Planes are low. Please, a bit of kip. A fly astir . An AC's whirr. Roaring roadster. Just forty winks. Telly's off. Party's over. Almost aslee... Have to pee. -Grim ...

Hours pass, days pass, eternities travel... Life sings the same old song... Music of our lives... Happiness-little bird released that we still want to catch with our hands... without the same skills... Beautiful times that now we only remember, between whispers and faded sighs...!...

The clock chimes 3– I lay sleepless in bed My body feels frozen- I feel like i’m undead. My thoughts run wild. Like a horse in a race. Im like a labyrinth- Yet as fragile as a porcelain vase. I try to sleep yet I open my eyes- Here comes morning, the sunlight comes to rise....

Sheep Sam could not seek sleep that night as storm sounds crashed and clashed; the thunder blasted booms while bright bold beams of lightning lashed. So sadly, Sam said, “We can't sleep- the big booms bash so loud!” But then, they heard a chirpy cheep- a true tweet in their crowd! “Oh yes”, said Sparrow Sue, “You know this scary storm won't last; it...

Silver fox howls at the moon Looking at me across the room Every note sounds of doom Even when awake feeling gloom Praying for a hero to come Lift me up towards the sun Elevate my life and soul Save me from the vampire’s choke Sleep is not a good idea Now my dreams will be cursed with fear I have to find another...
