Insomnia

A Poem by Woody
"

d'you like silly writes? 'cos this is a silly write.

"

coffee's coursing through my veins
as the moon waxes and wanes
I'm jittery and fit to howl
my eyes are like those of an owl

How did you know that the full moon affects me like coffee? I get so hyper, I sometimes don't sleep for a few nights, during each full moon. My thoughts come rushing constantly, yet I can't settle down to capture them in words. You've described this feeling so well in so few words. "I'm jittery & fit to howl" is definitely my favorite line & also my new anthem! *smile* (((HUGS)))

I am laughing but for a different reason. At my sisters house where I am now living, the hoot of an owl means totally something else. Valentine

I don't drink coffee but I can appreciate this feeling. I like the third line Woody.

Ah, when nighttime comes and sleep is no where to be found, writing a cute ditty is the only thing to do! Too much caffeine gangs up on a person at night! Lydi**
