Do you have time for a short poem before retiring?

Question

Sleep

by C.S. Scotkin

Fatigue tiptoes

quietly unseen

spins spider silk

binds arms, legs, mind

leaves no way out.

I dissolve into dreams…

Answer 1

Aside from one word, this is so good, as witnessed by the many that you have inspired. And since it is 2:20am, I might as well give it a try.

The body aches for rest,

The brain seeks oblivion.

Yet the mind denies the quest,

Fearful dreams keep living on.

Mindless games of solitaire,

A monumental waste of time,

Yet it helps me to prepare

And safer than a glass of wine

Sudoku also helps me slumber

So far from feeling is the number.  

Answer 2

Very nice imagery. Dissolving into dreams seems much better than congealing into them--something I seem to be doing lately.

Answer 3

I'm now cool,relaxed

in my bathtub;

Wet bubbles

hydrate

the

room,

and I

disappear

into the arms

of sleepy slumber.

glub glub,

liked  your poem.

glub, glub.

Feathers

Caress

Come now

These sweet dreams brought to you by NoSleepitol

Answer 6

You've said it all, my dear, I had a bunch of beautiful stuff float'n 'round in my head a minute ago...Fatigue has robbed me of all rational thought.

At the moment I'm wishing a certain poster were MY child so I could whup his disrespectful behind.(NOT from this post as yet.)

Tired now...........I lie

Pillow soft..........To sleep

I wish I could dissolve into dreams. I toss and turn into dreams.

Full stomachs

Brushing teeth

Cool room

Snuggling in bed

Longing for rest

Till the morning returns.

Answer 10

I read this, then hydropro's answer and am grabbing a pillow from the effect of both, dissolving into dreams and answering his call of "come now."

Hypnotizing...both were!!!
