Poetry While Sleeping
Good Reason to Keep a Notebook by the Bed
Last night I wrote a poem
while half sleeping in my bed
I struggle now to remember
and come up blank instead.
-----------------------------------------
Pretty thoughts that were profound
came tumbling through my head
perfect verse lovely while sleeping
now lay dormant and dead.
------------------------------------------------
I recited it over and over again
this poem that moved me in my head
tossing, turning, attempting wakefulness
get paper, get pen, I thought I said.
