Co-Sleeping

Writing is a labor of love. In order to transform it into a labor I can get paid for, I am treating it like a job. Putting in a minimum of 12 minutes, Monday-Friday, I will work one hour each week at writing. Here I go!

I sleep better than the the princess on the pea
Not a solid night of sleep in years and yet
Four years, two kids, one snoring husband
And I get more sleep than most folks would bet

~~~

This family bed is full to bursting
Doing time living that mom life, where work is never done
We shuffle in sheets like a nocturnal dance troupe
It’s almost all good when I open my eyes and see my little ones

Two distinct approaches to a poem about co-sleeping. I wonder what my wife will say about them
