Counting Sheep (edited)

by Brittany C   Aug 27, 2011


Can't fall asleep
I'll try counting sheep.
The nightly hours slowly passing by.

The thinking won't stop
words and rhymes felling my mind.
Starting the count all over again.

The sheep running away from me
as darkness starts to fill my mind.
My concentration beginning to wonder.

Sleep slowly envelops me,
dreams images finally
fill my mind with colorful images.

    Why sheep? The numbers kind of threw me off in a way. Seemed like more a nursery rhyme perhaps? Or a little humorous piece in a way. It was kind of hard to find interest in this, though you do make us curious. I'll take a look at your other pieces to see what else you have written.

    Wow been there and the sheep counting doesn't work :-) In my mind I'm writing poetry .

    I'm ok with the numbers and I think what was haunting you was the poetry running through your mind or am I wrong lol

    I liked the concept of this.

    The idea here is unique but I think you presented it with too much cliché...I suggest not actually using the numbers as it takes away from the structure and the content, what the reader wants to read!

    If you do include numbers, maybe include them all together like this

    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6....
    dream keep producing
    making me a victim
    of their imagination}

    ....but tell the reader why you are haunted....what is making you think and all these dreams keep filling up your brain?

    Keep writing.
