The Easy Sleepers

The Easy Sleepers

There's gonna be a war...

Between the easy sleepersย 
and the insomniacs ..

Easy sleepers..ย 
Falling asleep in their Snoodies and such..
While the insomniacs create great machines all nightย 
then come home to their alkaline childrenย 
with the smell of heavy solderย 
saturated in their hair and skin..

Chilled liquid mercuryย 
over a couple of
eighteen month old matured batteries..ย 
The breakfast of the future..ย 
The breakfast of champions..

The easy sleepersย 
quietly give in to their fate..
They are fireflies in the dawnย 

Then...With the yawn of the hippos breath
and the smash of the apes bone hammer...
In a flash... they are gone!

Thank you very much Marion, and likewise...I always look forward to reading your poems. I was afraid no one would want to comment on this one as it is quite abstract, also free verse which I don't usually try. Glad you enjoyed...I was just trying my hand at something new ๐Ÿ™‚

Take careย  - Syd xoย

Syd, just blooming brilliant writing throughout and never a bum note or a word wasted on what is offered up.
And my apologies for not commenting at the time, Mr Sandman caught up with me.
And is that ape's bone hammer a nod and wink to 2001.
Anyway thanks Syd and highest respect to you and generously sharing your unique writing and captivating words and also for making this heart beat that little bit faster.๐Ÿ‘

Syd always a pleasure reading you and as this week advances will be reading more from your good self.
I know what you mean about cutting back on writing the ying and yang of it and life/time/family/health and many more myriads play their part.
But we're lucky on here to read and take stock of, all of that you have
written.
ย For a poetic something is better than a poetic nothing.
And yes I'm wellย and hope you are also.
Hang in there Syd and high respect to you.ย ย ๐Ÿ‘
