Connected Poem, by Aa Harvey, at My poetic side

Connected.

I need to empty the clutter from inside my mind;

So time after time, I write these lines.

I empty my brain so I can go to sleep,

But when I look at the clock it is half past three.

Beam me up Scotty, to a cloud in the sky,

So I can kiss this night goodbye.

I’m still counting sheep,

To pass the time.

I need to upload all the thoughts inside my mind;

Because this way of clearing my head,

Takes up way too much time.

Just let me be a plug-in baby;

Connect me directly into the internet

And set my thoughts free from inside me.

Electronically discharge me from this chore of a life,

Because inside me I find something else I need to write.

Disconnect me from my mind so I can get some sleep;

A day dream never screams, but this night time is purgatory.

Thoughts are shouting at me, so I must write to find quietude.

The wires inside my head were split,

But thankfully now I have improved.

Excellent poem. As a poet sometimes thoughts just come flooding and you have to write them down. Even at half past three! Great job! Christina

  Thank you. It is annoying though, when all I want to do is go to sleep and my mind is suddenly illuminated with thoughts that I won't be able to ignore until I have written them down. Insomnia is a bad thing, but it allows me to write, so it's not all bad.

Great write, I sometimes get up in the middle of the night to right poems. Just so I can go back to sleep

  🙂 I think we all think alike. This is why I like uploading poems, it lets you see that other people are going through the same things too.
