3am Poems Poem by JoAnn McGrath

3am Poems

Rating: 5.0


Hurdles are high
from where they lie
Finish line hard to spy
Running is not a breeze

High wire act
elevation is abstract
Pick up the slack
In the net of unease

Tossing and turning
the seas are churning
Quietness yearning
Someone throw the life jacket please

Strength is waning
Body complaining
Muscles straining
Falling the Pillars of Hercules

This is a great way to describe the times when you can't sleep because something is bothering you.

3 AM POEM...Beautiful...Thank you! Poetic way to describe how I feel right now as well, after going to bed at 3am and waking up at 7am, on a Sunday, hands tired, body too, but proud for being working so hard on my yard. I want my bed back :) But proud I am to have come here to spy your Poem. :)
