It's Way Too Early To Wake Up! Acrostic Poem

 

 

 

 

Inconsiderate neighbors upstairs always stomping their feet
Too tired to do anything, I just want to sleep
Starting to drift off into another place

With earplugs and an eye patch upon my little face
All I want to do is get a little more rest
Yellow sun brightly shining all over my face and chest

Trying to find a way to make the world disappear
Oh God please, help me out here!
Opposing forces keeping me awake

Every time I close my eyes there is another break
Around every corner, there is another surprise
Resting peacefully at last, I try to close my eyes
Leave me alone please and I won’t be such a grouch
You all need to leave now, get off of my couch

Time for you all to give me my space
Only for a few hours, I just need to escape

Wait a while longer for my body to rest
A little time is all I ask, just to rid me of this stress
Keep me in your heart as I keep you in mine
Eventually this pain inside of me will subside

Understand the way that I feel, I am not angry with you
Please be patient with me now and I will make it up to you

    Oh yeah, I live in an apartment complex... and surely there are always "extra" distractions from getting all my precious beauty sleep - teehee!

    Very nicely penned! You did a great job expressing your feelings using the acrostic form. The only thing is that towards the end, the flow starts to dissipate, almost like things were being forced just to end a line. I will post where I think this started getting choppy...

    "Keep me in your heart as I keep you in mine
    Eventually this pain inside of me will subside

    Understand the way that I feel, I am not angry with you
    Please be patient with me now and I will make it up to you"

    See, not too much, just the very ending.


    Otherwise, you are right, I'm sure everyone can relate to this! Nice job - and all my best in the contest dear


    Always, Amber
