Sleep
Evades
Toss and turn
Pillows, blankets
Fly in discontent
This malady drives me
To curse every softness bit
Meditation try off putting
Again rising to walk back and forth
While frustration finds success in no sleep.
“Sleep evades, toss and turn, pillows, blankets fly”

I’m not sure if this is in correct form

I think I’m just going to give up on sleep
Let all those mangy thoughts that keep
Dancing around in my mind and reap
Havoc, like some odd nightmare, they creep.
The clock glows one-thirty, then three
I nod off and hope to wake and see
At least six or seven
That would be heaven
But no, it seems to be stuck at four
Why can’t I stay asleep any more?
Guess I’ll get up, and open the door
To the fridge for cold water, watch it pour
Could it be thirst was keeping me awake?
I’m back in bed, open a book that will take
Me into a different world where it seems
That sleep is the hoped-for fantasy dream.

Some of my family is tired of this song because it is always played before a sport’s game. Not me😂

autumn
deer rustling
dead leaves piled
a brush of sticks
dens being prepared for winter lodging
cold winds signal time for assembling
skin and fur fluffed
fawns steadied
first frosts
autumn

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
“Are you coming or not?” Carl demanded as he took a few steps further into the…ballroom. For weeks he had balked at his wife’s insistence on going to the lessons so now was the time to try them out. Nancy hesitated to enter because the lessons with Carl were fun and even romantic, but here in public? She was too nervous! The whole idea of going to the dance lessons was to rekindle their romantic passion but now she was almost scared. The safety of the small dance studio was fine but this huge ballroom? Carl’s face softened, took her hand, sensing her trepidation and put his arm around her. Maybe he too, wanted this reunion of feelings.

Fandango’s Story Starter #120
Julia’s recipe for the drink was the quintessential peak of her blooming career. Anyone who tried the lemon concoction could barely articulate the exact flavors and thought it might be a trick of Julia’s, that would tick off the right flavor sensors in their gut. However, the secret ingredient Julia tucked into her creation was a rather large dash of limoncello. Lemonade never tasted so good!
