After a long day
Of work
Of questions
Of running
from
desk
to
desk
I put my feet up
and closed my eyes.
Kiddo narrated
video games
Cats crawled
up
and
down
batting me
PET
ME
NOW!
Briefly,
though,
everyone went outside
and for a while
a short while
I put my feet up
and closed my eyes
and
fell
asleep.
ZZZZZzzzzzzzz…

Sheer delight to read! I may have to add nap to my trigger list (slices I must stop at) of cookies, cats, and books.

A nap can be bliss!

I totally love this poem! The short lines make it feel so immediate and the creative spacing is perfect for setting a playful tone. Also, I appreciate the interruptions that are so cleverly documented in the middle of this “nap.” My husband, cat and I are big nappers so we live this!

This post makes me jealous because I’m chronically underslept but can’t ever seem to nap! With all the interruptions, I’m not sure how you managed it either! I love the use of spacing and white space to create movement and suspense and to convey all those interruptions.

The fact that my restless child did not fall asleep until nearly 10, and then woke me up at 12:30 to insist that he could not sleep and had been awake since bedtime, keeping me up until 1:30 until I got him settled enough that he would stay asleep, on top of my own insomnia from the night before, made napping pretty easy. I kept drifting off in between fascinating video game explanations.

Both are good – a nap and a poem. 🙂

Love this poem, especially how you spaced out ‘from desk to desk’ to show how you moved around the room. Nice!

Thank you. That is what I was trying to accomplish with my spacing!

Those are such long bards days. But those naps are amazing.
