time to unplug
no need to rise from bed today
it’s safer here, i think i’ll stay
and should i drift back off to sleep
obligations can wait, they’ll keep
they’re not as urgent as you think
sweet dreams await, i’m on the brink
rest is required, don’t you know
whence inspiration freely flows
as you can see it’s optimal
to let me snooze, it’s possible
and you should try it for yourself
sleep’s good for the soul, for your health
so have a day, good, bad, don’t care
i’ll see you where or when, i swear
but now I’ve better things to do
i’m off to dream, no thoughts of you

NaPoWriMo 2024 -Day 10 Challenge: write a poem based on one of the curious headlines, cartoons, and other journalistic tidbits featured at Yesterday’s Print, where old new stays amusing, curious, and sometimes downright confusing.
Poetry Form:
Rhyming couplets. Formal verse rhymes; the sequence of rhymes is called the rhyme scheme. AA BB is specifically four lines, the first two rhyming and the second two rhyming. And so on – a poem of whatever length which repeats this pattern AA BB CC DD . . . uses couplet rhymes.

There’s an extreme logic to this idea. I think I like it…the logic that is. I’m sure I like the poem!

Thank you Peter! If we don’t take time for ourselves, no one else is going to suggest it!
