Uh-oh, looks like I’m writing again
God knows it’s only 3:00 AM
I should be sleeping
But no, my fingers are typing
What might my keyboard have to say this time?
No doubt, some sort of rhyme
Could it be inspirations so lyrical?
Or just gibberish in senseless circles
Why, I ought to be in bed
But from where I don’t know come these words instead
I know what you must be thinking
“Now he’s really lost it,” but look again, my eye is winking
I’m just an innocent spontaneous writing fool
Lyrical phrases attack me from a hyperactive word pool
Quite often in the middle of the night
Maybe I can blame the moon and starlight?
Most certainly, I need my sleep
Snoozing away where I don’t utter a peep
But then, in slumber what words lurk?
Waiting their chance to escape the murk
I could go down to the beach
Out to the ocean, my hand to reach
For soon surely the sun will rise
Casting crimson colors across sparsely clouded skies
And then, again here I’d sit
Writing of emotions spawned from it
Well, look ye here
Of the past hour, I’ve a souvenir
Add another to the list
Composed words my fingers could’nt resist
Smile for me if you will
For that I might even put ink to quill
To share jumbled thoughts
Of this, that and what not
Nostalgic ramblings of a middle aged baby boomer
Or nocturnal wanderings of a starlight bloomer
I guess for now, nothing more to say
Other than I wish you all a very, very nice day

Well A.P., you desribed me to a T!
And here I thought I was the only one. Thanks Fred. ; )
Actually, by years I am past the middle aged part, but in my mind I am not even there yet.
And like me, you relaxing, just along for the ride.
Good write, it is amazing how words can come so spontaneously at these strange times of the day or night.
Yes, and if I don't write it down immediately I'll never remember it. Thanks for reading Goldfinch.
Good write AP.
Thank ya orchidee. ; )
I can join the club. Sometimes I can not sleep early and write or read or watch a movie. Never sleep before 11:00 pm. Very nice writing here. If you keep skipping sleep it is good because you come up with good writing.
Yes you can join the club. But if I avoid sleep for too long my inner muse goes to bed without me, then all I can do is mumble useless noises. Thanks for reading. ; )
I am a good sleeper it's my dreams that I'm sure are full of great writings and works of art that I can never quite remember , cool poem
I'm sure they are wlschuett. Need to find a way to write in your sleep. Thanks for reading. ; )
Holly smoke. You are the true early bird for today! 3AM. Even a alarm won't wake me at that time.
"Smile for me if you will"
I will, but I would like you to take a rest too.
Thank you preparing such a luxurious breakfast for us. I really appreciate it.
Breakfast is at 5AM. Be there or go hungry. LOL. ; )
Thank you. I won't be late.
