Night goes dark

Light loses the lark

When birdsong goes

Its eerily quiet.

A clear night

Winter cold

Summer warm

Stars shine bright.

At night

Spiders fright

At a loud snore

Run to pour

out a web of silk.

Moving silently

Through the carpet

In the bath

By a window

Or room corner,

The spiders spin

Silk of web

Web of silk.

The loud snore

A human sleeps

Fitfully

Warmly

No cheese

A good dream

With cheese

Oh nooooooo

A nightmare.

Sweats and shivers

Wide awake

A quick trip

To the bathroom.

Breathe slowly.

Breathe normally.

Return to the duvet.

Back to sleep

In the dark, dark night

These, modern times

Theres a little light

As a message appears bright

On that blasted phone.

Nooooooo......

Woken

Sigh.....not again

By the ding

The annoying ding

Of the mobile phone.

What now?

A dumb message

Its two a.m.

Sighs........

As a car screeches

Noise!

Then all is quiet

Eerily so

Drifting off

Under the duvet

Blue and dark

Return to sleep

As the spiders

Start their creep

All over the home.

Deeply breathe

Deeply snore

Deeply sleep.

No wake till morn

And the annoying horn

Of the alarm...

...honking.

Night has gone

Dark has left

And light has come.
