Sorry for my late posting. As I mentioned in my last post, I recently broke my wrist.<\/a><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s limerick, haiku, and senryu theme is\u00a0sleep and insomnia.\u00a0<\/em>First, my limerick:<\/p>\n

Sleepless In Bayside
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

My husband can catnap at will,
\nAnd my jealous reaction is shrill.
\nMy insomnia’s bad —
\nJust can’t help getting mad,
\nCuz his snores can be heard in Brazil.<\/p>\n

And now my\u00a0haiku or senryu:<\/p>\n

I watch my husband
\nSleep hour after hour.
\nWhat is his secret?<\/p>\n

Now, of course, it\u2019s your<\/strong> turn. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write some verse about\u00a0sleep\u00a0and insomnia.<\/em> When you\u2019ve posted your poem(s), please return\u00a0here and add a direct link to your themed poetry, using Mr. Linky.\u00a0There\u2019s no rush, by the way, because you have\u00a0a whole\u00a0week to post it.<\/p>\n

(Note: My poems were inspired by these three prompts: “catnap,<\/a> “my nights”<\/a> and “when I watch you.”<\/a>)<\/p>\n
