Sleep

Here is a free verse poem that I wrote:

Sleep

Every night I go to bed,

And on my pillow I rest my head.

So that I can fall asleep,

In my head I count the sheep,

Soon I have drifted into a sleep so deep,

I won’t even hear a single peep,

I dream of wonderful things,

That I am a fairy, who has gotten her wings,

When it is time for me to awake in the morning,

I don’t want to stop my dream of flying,

But the alarm is beeping and obviously won’t stop,

And downstairs I hear the toaster pop,

Now my good night of sleep has come to an end,

And at night, once again, my dreams will ascend.
