Snooze Poems - Poems about Snooze

The Other Side of the Pillow

In the dark of night, where dreams bear bloom,
and silence reigns in my shadowed room,
my pillow waits, serene, composed,
awaiting my sleepy head to doze.

Beneath my head it yields its form,
to cradle my crown from day’s storm,
and offer a sweet night’s repose,
yet pillow’s thoughts, who really knows?

She seems so sweet, pretends to care,
yet every night disturbs

winter snooze

snowflakes keep falling
under a white fluffy quilt~
the earth lies snoozing

I must have promised

I must have promised to diligently strive
to get up each morning by half past five.
Drink my java, watch the news, keep
things quiet and let her snooze..
Wash up at our bathroom sink but keep
the faucet trickling so she gets a full drink..
Serve her a chicken pate dish, never meat
and seldom fish..
If I'm met with defeat offer

Let The Muse Snooze

Let the muse snooze!
The poor dear having been
drained of all rhyme in search
of reason…

Let the muse have a day
of rest...when, regenerated
he will be closer his best…

But don’t let the muse confess --
that he relies on a higher address…
maybe even, an all inspiring Jesus

He let his muse snooze…
what the heck, his muse
long played, the author
tried dealing

snooze

I'll touch that fire for you
I do that three, four times again, I testify for you
I told that lie, I'd kill that 
I do what all of them around you scared to do, I'm not
Long as you juggin' out here for me, I got it
Mobbin', schemin', lootin', hide your bodies
Long as you dreamin' 'bout me,

Snooze and Lose

In court, the accused
is produced and
charged with abuse,
no evidence is adduced, 
the sentence is reduced,
he is not amused
to pay his dues
his name is in the news,
the public giving views
they have no clues
defense counsel does not snooze
no one wants to lose

Lazy Snooze Alarm

The sun looked tired this morning
Yawning stretched shadows over silent birds
Teasing nighttimes sleeping flowers
As its lazy snooze alarm hummed idly

Snooze Button

Go on,
I dare you!
Press me just one more time.
The alarm rings out,
Disturbing my slumber.
Dreams of sunshine,
beauty,
Sex, darkness.

The cold reality cuts like a knife.
Startled into sudden alertness.
Yet, in this harsh awakening,
A little ray of hope.

A tiny flicker that all will be ok.
That the new day which has dawned 
is not so urgent.
Go on! I dare you.

Snowman Takes a Snooze

Snowman took the largest snooze today.
The wren saw him and whistled merry and gay.
Trying to get a wink, a sigh or a hey hey hey
But the snowman was out of it in every way.

Fox Snooze

The Russians have landed on Mars!
They can't drive American cars
But neither can we
Its the dust, you see,
Plus the fact that there are no bars!

Trump needs more support for golf fees
All cash donations he seize   (sees?)
But oh what the heck
Your stimulus cheque
Will work just as well, if you please!

My Muse Is Taking a Snooze

My dearest one,
Where have you gone?
In these long days
I am bereft
Without your deft
Turn of phrase
To spark
My sluggish heart
From my verbose malaise

Are you upset, oh delicate
flower of finest select
Colors, who trickle
In fickle
Flame and fade
A sleight-of-hand shade
I mine fruitless lines
All which you bade
Too conveniently made
Sharply undefined

Is it me? Do I bore?
Are my attentions a chore?
I wish only

Snooze Alarm

Streetlights flicker in daybreaks doubt.
Grayish clouds mope lazily.
Sunrise smirks at the early risers.
Dewdrops dangle on yellowed leaves.
A cat shakes his wet paws.
Robins wrangle chilled worms.
A squirrel maps his acorn field.
Frail winds stifle the hawk’s wings.
Late bloomers shiver in the sun’s lie.
School bus stops chatter.
The old dog yawns and looks at the door.

Dreamt of the Dreamer

I am the dreamt of the Dreamer
knowing no more what matters
can be acknowledged, are you still
sleeping oh thou I perhaps have called
God in my younger years of sleep
imbued with the sense of aloneness
never to be seen no more than a
rock stillness persists despite all of
the advancement which is simply running 
on the tracks of time,

A Wide Awake Snooze Made Me Scream

A wide awake snooze made me scream
Held me in the clutches of a well-earned dream.
An elephant in pajamas came running up fast.
He pushed me aside, and made the sign of a bast.

A wide awake snooze held me captive in my head.
I thrashed and I crashed,, and I fell out of the bed.
My dad yelled, "What's

Santa Hits the Snooze Button

Santa Hits The Snooze Button


Santa went out last night dressed as mutton 
drinking too much at the costume party.
Being a glutton woke up with a hearty 
hangover.

He turned over
and hit the snooze button one more time. 
Mrs. Santa gave him a cup of lime,
tomato juice, and beer to get over
the hangover. 

Wake up. Wake up.
