Compare and contrast my effort
YOUR SLEEP
At least I grasp
the title
Though the
Pillow of verse
Eludes me
A haiku it is not
Your skeep it is
Ineluctable
Yet
Silent.
(If that’s a pair of Haiku I’m a yak’s nephew!)
Paul, for Annie December 2011
… with that of Nikki Giovanni….
MY SLEEP
I appreciate my sleep
In sleep my conversation
is witty
My home is dusted
My office work
Is up to date
The dog
is even
well bahved
And food is on the table
on time
But then
when I’m asleep
I don’t have you
to chatter and confuse
My hungry heart
Nikki Giovanni 2009
” The memories of long love gather like drifting snow, poignant as the mandarin ducks who float side by side in sleep.” ~ Lady Murasaki
