Sister Sleep
My sister sleep and me are close
it's almost as if we are twins
but we fight, sometimes I may win,
but sister sleep she wins the most.
My shadow she or she's my ghost
she haunts my every waking breath,
she knows me deep down to my depths
and siren like sings lullabies,
ignoring all protests of mine
luring me to meet, brother death.

Speaking of sleep;
I can't write to save my life unless I've slept well the night before.
Lots of neurological maintenance going on when I sack out.

Indeed it does.
Luckily I've always been able sleep & to catnap
For breaks at school and later work read, catnap!
And that's where this piece came from.

Probably eighty percent of rhyming poems that I read, I don't particularly care for. They overlook everything else for the sake of the rhyme. You do not.
You're quite good at what you do, Rew. Solid, enjoyable, rewarding writes.
This write is but one of your all.

Well, let's say this. Some of us write for the sake of saying something that itches our heads. And some write for the sake of feeding the gods of poetry.
Those gods shine on you.

Once again thank you.
what I try to do is produce something interesting
and in rhyme. And have fun at the same time.
