Drowning Out
I fall asleep to the noise of a fan
every night
always
it helps quiet
loud thoughts
I don't want to hear
What I really need
Is a bedroom
with an open window
right next to
Niagara Falls

Me and you both. I can't sleep without my fan, but I never had the chance to wake up next to Niagara Falls.
Great poem.

Thanks. I visited a magically loud waterfall in Iceland 10 years ago and fantasized falling asleep there. I've been obsessed with Niagara Falls lately. Never been there.

I use a radio app on my phone which has a lot of white noise options.
Old time comedy shows too.

Imagine having Niagara Falls at your window every morning. Jump in to take a quick swim. Cool concept, clever write

My wife sleeps with a fan that sounds like a 787 engine. Nobody sleeps much except Onyx our dog....
Cool breezes by an open window are the best.
Great write

Glad doggie sleeps well. I love watching my cat sleep. She looks like she's smiling.
Thanks for the RL.

Dude that would make me have to pee every five minutes
I have to sleep in total silence and total darkness. Also I don’t sleep well, maybe I should try a fan?
The loud thoughts are really hard to sleep through some days. Well spoken

Thanks Betty. Yeah, I hadn't thought about that side effect with Niagara Falls.

Dear PD,
There is something comforting about the whir of a fan or a vacuum cleaner, although running that all night might be over kill. I’d like to live by an ocean.
I hope you get to Niagara Falls. Until then it’s fans, and apps. Great write. H🌷
