In Sleep

Link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tpMDoNXg_U

The words and lines
aren't coming today.
I lie down for a nap.
I dreamt of metaphors
and similes.
I woke up.
The years swim away
like bass at spawning
time.

Yes a nap in the middle of the day can clear the mind wonderfully - some people in the alternative community refer to these as 'power sleeps'. You only need 20 minutes and it can change yr whole perspective. Really Excellent Thomas ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Power naps. Cats are mostly known for them, but I find them most beneficial in my days of early rising. Your closing line delivers quite a punch, Thomas. Much enjoyed this one!

YOU have a way of cavorting those twenty letters into a land- or watescape! Must try to discover the kind of sleep you have, Thomas. For you, it turns brevity and metaphors into magic!
