Poems
Nov 2017
It's dark I should be sleeping
It’s dark I should be sleeping
but the worries are a creeping
into my head like spider webs
I beg until I’m weeping
I fluff the pillows and make the bed
I pull the covers up over my head
and in they prance like army ants
to feast until I’m dead
I flip and flop, then toss and turn
Getting mad at myself, will I ever learn?
There’s just one way to make them pay
off I head to the nearest tavern
