I'm lying here, wide awake
Trying hard to get some sleep;
But my brain is totally buzzing,
So it's useless counting sheep!

Many times, I've had new thoughts, And jumped out of my cosy bed, To quickly grab a pen and paper, And jot them down before they leave my head. Is this a common problem, Which all writers share? Yes it happens with me too. A beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing
Many times, I've had new thoughts, And jumped out of my cosy bed, To quickly grab a pen and paper, And jot them down before they leave my head. Yes this is my experience. i also suffer with so many thoughts and imaginations in the brain and at night suddenly get up to jot down the feelings, emotions, and words. thank you for this poem.. tony
Verily, I too write it down as quickly as possible or else it goes out of mind and never returns.......10 I invite you to read my poems
The thing is that the poet has ample ideas for making and writing new poems and her mind is always having exciting experience of events and themes in writing poem the real description through the poem is wonderful and interesting.
By this time I have written a few poems on sleep and on poetry but this one is a combination of both, cocktail! Awesome write!
Haha! Oh yes, this is very familiar! I have a hard time turning my mind off every night!
I think of things to write when I am in bed but by the time I get downstairs I've forgotten them. Have you read my sonnet On Sleep, it runs along the same theme. NIce one Angela
I know the feeling..Great write, enjoyed very much. Blessings, AA
It is a writer's not remembering the thoughts had. Great write.
woa, sounds familiar, a hundred million words flying through your head like migrating flocks in winter, sometimes so hard to reach up and grab them before they disapear into the wild blue, nice writing, cheers
I used to get up in the early hours to write. I am sluggish now like my writing.
Imagine if you were to sleep~ meaning no poem for me to read...Thanks to gods of sleep! !
This is really nice. and also can you check mine out. thanks very good.
Aye, I have a similar problem but I will differentiate for my pirate lot when I hear that majestic hymn reaching for my quill I am flung out of my swinging cot! Loved the poem! Read 'Pirate's Block' if you want a giggle.
Definitely a writer's problem I would say - I keep a pen and notebook by my bed so at least I don't have to get up. Very well written and rhymed, worth your loss of sleep! !
Highly relatable experience nicely put together. A beautiful work of art. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched.
