The nap - an original poem (@snooks homework)

it is about time to make a gap
yawning in the early afternoon
is this just an old folk's trap?
or maybe just some lucky boon?

drowsily listening to the radio
fading in and out of transmission
sleep losing and gripping flow
creating today's sleepy division

what does it benefit us to snooze?
am i not wasting this time in bed?
although it's time here we lose
we regain the clarity in our head

thirty minutes will do the trick
eyes again rested and open wide
brain's contents a bit less thick
feeling refreshed and amplified!

Last night @snook asked us to write a poem about a nap without using the actual word nap... I was a bit late reading her messages and when i did i was kinda drunk... So, after taking a long nap i wrote this little poem in the hope that my "homework" will get a good grade :D

If you want to read more, check out some more stuff I wrote:

giving up my dreams
voor jou (for you)
forget about the pain
the journey is the destination
offensive emptiness
how come i am not surprised?
hey steemit! - a poetic feature request
no hope for change from within
death comes to us all
burst that bubble baby!
words untamed
crossing the rubicon
if the shoe fits...
true love never dies
if you're not confused
too dangerous to touch
a tale of eleven cities
consumed by consumption
return to innocence
she burns bright
chaos and order
my valentine
a limerick about my birthday
a circle shaped short story (J.A.S.E.)
luctor et emergo
a poetic poetry review - daily dose 24
an experiment with word shape and meaning
excercise with shape and words
coincidence?
fifty - fifty
feelings in motion
my drowning land
nothing from nothing
infinite bandwidth
just a limerick
i've always been me
life is suffering
An anecdotal poetry experiment
When it rains it pours
Dreaming about Steeming
For the love of stones
Mind, body and soul
United dreams
Talk about addiction
