Piece of Work

Posted on August 10, 2011 | 19 Comments

Closing eyes and nodding
No sleep the night before
Awaking in time to write this line
And hoping for one more

Resting eyes, time has past
Jerking awake once more
Getting off my ass, I hope to last
Before I start to snore

One more cup of coffee
The world pushes towards the sun
I give a dam, as concerned as I am
This piece of work is done

I like this one and the previous one as well. Sometimes it can be hard work to write poetry!

  Sometimes we can expect too much from ourselves, but it’ll come, it always does. smiles

Michael, I didn’t expect the “piece of work” to be you! I know how hard it is sometimes, deadlines looming… thoughts with you! Amy

  Thanks Sherry. It’s good to know. As far as the piece workers.. I don’t know where they come from. 🙂

Ah, to sleep, perhaps to dream . . . of some way to finish another poem. Lord, we’ve all been there, but few make the moment into a poem. Well done.
