Let me Sleep
Let me Sleep
(quintain)
Take me from this bed of tears
for slumber I do greatly seek
a solace from my daily fears
perhaps in His sight I'll be meek
for I am all alone and weak.
Send me to another place
Where sleep confines those dreams when I
had satisfaction on my face
and life provides no need to cry
My nightmare ends, and I can fly
(quintain)

My nightmare ends, and I can fly
An' it harm none, do what ye will. Blessed Be.

It's a quintain... that's as long as it can be

How about a number of quintains linked together by a common thought?

Re: Let me Sleep
Sending some inspiration your way my friend. I can't imagine a loss of inspiration while living on the Left coast. It's in short supply over here,...so use it before it starts going bad. Ever notice that bad inspiration smells like rancid goat cheese? Here's hoping for a renewal, revival, of your muse.
