heavy eyelids
stretching belly
empty pot and
cleanly licked plate
energy levels just enough
to watch the telly
soon to become
all that we ate
the sleepy mood
brings one in sync
with a rainy day
humidity through the roof
to celebrate now
let’s have a drink
of hot chocolate
Valentine’s proof
Poem ‘Sleepy Celebrations’ read by the author.
Turbulent landing
Spinning the head
Bit of Champagne
Before bed
Tipsy toes
Calming the nerve
Bottle of spirits
One more serve
Hairdo disheveled
Over the face
Resting the glass
On sofa chase
Not a soul in sight
In the night silence
Only the mind
Finding its balance
Cells of variety
Seeping out the brain
Leaving in vain
In search of sobriety
If only it was true
“In vino veritas”
Many would be awake
And nobody so blue
Sip sip hooray!
