Poem

WHY I WILL NOT GET OUT OF BED!!

Fussing from the baby’s room

Moan, a glance at the clock

5:31 A.M.

Already, it’s too early

Come on Ray fall back asleep

Fussing changes to cooing

Good he found a toy

Back to sleep ahhh

Fussing again, see the clock

7:18 A.M.

Groan it’s still too early

Come on Ray fall back asleep

Compromise sleep till 8

Mommy is a night owl

BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM

Uh oh his foot must be stuck in the crib

No falling back to sleep now

Will get out of bed now

Not by choice.

Screams turn to smile when foot is released

The smile is returned.

The above is a poem I wrote for a creative writing class I took a couple of years ago. I thought it was fun and I really like how it turned out.
