Haiku for Sleeping



Oh, good. Time to sleep
So I wait, my eyelids weigh
Hoping soon to dream

**

I wait, sleep teases
Plays it cool, takes its time now
Not one to rush in, it taunts

**

The clock gets louder
Cars pass outside decide to, too
Night turns up volume

**

1a.m. is when
Tomorrow's to-do list knocks
Thinks its turn has come

**

Look up to see 4
Leaves me with 2 more hours
of wishing for sleep

* *

Eyes open to voice
Memory of dream, keys lost
Sleep indeed did call

**
