A Poem Poem by Oualid Alamghouz

A poem
How nice it is to write a poem before I sleep.
I put on paper what I felt and experienced during the day.
Writing a poem makes me happy so now I can rest well.
If I don't, I don't think I could close my eyes.
Late at night I write my poem before I sleep.
I write and then revise it.
I go back to it and read it silently.
My family is lost in dreams.
Everyone sleeps and I am still drinking my tea.
I send my poem to my friend to read and finally go to rest.
Before I sleep I write a poem, simply because I'm a poet.
Now I can fall asleep.
