Express Yourself

Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Extreme Exhaustion-National Poetry Month



Extreme Exhaustion
by Maureen Ucles

Tired
Yawning
Hazy
Thinking
Dreaming
Sleeping
Droopy-eyed
Exhausted

Tired
Stalling
Tripping
Falling
Down
Down
Down
Skinned knee
Why me?
No sleep
Reading
Can't put it down
Head in the clouds
ZZZ

Eyes rolling
twitching
inclined
behind
the wheel
Oh-no!
Crunching ice
Pump up the jam
Window's downing
not a sound
snoring

Oh my!
Weaving
Leaving
Curb hopping
Stopping
Fire hydrant killing
Waterfalling
Spewing
Fountain's blue
Siren's blazing
Ambulance pacing
Fire Department chasing
Chief of police calling
SWAT Teams sprawling
Go home!
No thing


Need some sleep
Rest my eyes
Counting sheep
too tired to jump
one, two, three...
no shut eye near
prying open my lids
tooth picks
breaking
not solution
HELP ME!
I'm stuck
Twilight Zone
Ground Hog Day
Extreme Exhaustion
