Spasms in the night,

uncontrollable twitches,

moonlight casting eerie light,

howls from dogs, screams from witches,

noises creaks and scraunch,

strange weird dreams,

on the verge of sleep you launch,

the morning's far off it seems,

incessant ticking of the clock,

rhythmic overload,

an unexpected noise causes a 'shock!',

interrupting your sleepy mode,

you change posture with a yawn,

thrust the pillow under your head,

endless ticking marches toward the dawn,

the quilt slides off the bed,

your mind just won't allay,

thoughts invade the calm,

voices must have their say,

images sometimes charm,

restless legs kick out,

making you toss and turn,

annoyed you want to shout,

while the candle slowly burns,

noises in the night,

seem louder in the dark,

an unexpected fright,

when a dog begins to bark,

another dispiriting Nox,

when I just can't rest,

tried counting sheep on rocks!,

but my mind is full of zest.
