    Falling asleep

    First off, I want to say the reason for the name is because this poem is about me...when I read a book in the library, very boring. But! enjoy this short piece, critique if you must, and read carefully...words are dangerous O_o
    EDIT: OK I revised the poem and changed the title enjoy!

    Falling asleep

    Eyes pulsing
    ocular impediment
    forcing a conclusion
    rippled vision
    smothering your brain
    with thoughts of departure
    to a long awaited vacation

    sigh

    at long last
    curtains have fallen
    covering my eyes

    I see sheep running me by
    one,two,three...
    off to sleep

    conjuring dreams
    of newly read stories
    causing the collapse
    of a queer synapse

    my mind dances to the beat
    of this beautiful biorhythm
    with my temporal as the floor
    my dance partner
    a caffeine induced-fit model

    I can only imagine
    what goes on in this
    perfectly delirious
    on-going dream

    I liked this, Chief, it's adorable. Words are only dangerous when they're boring, lol. S2 reads a bit awkwardly as is. Fallen would be better than fell, and I would nix the the before curtains. I'm not sure onto is the right word here, technically, it might be correct, but I paused to think about it. In a piece so short unwanted pauses are that much more obvious. I'd say switch it for something, over perhaps, but I don't really like that either. It's worth considering a switch, though. I enjoyed this fun tidbit.

    Best,
    Lisa

    OK revision is up and I went ahead and changed the title, it no longer fits the poem (don't worry I have an idea for another "Reading in The Library") enjoy!
