My eyes peel open
As my muscles weep
Groaning and grousing
I roll to shaking feet
And collapse
Under the weight
Of a spinning world
(April Poetry contest. Figured this would be more interesting than saying I woke up feeling like a truck ran me over in my sleep. Probably just need some extra sleep.)
About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
Legends of Windemere

You make us smile when we are feeling just like how your poem describes, that is an awesome ability to have! I am thankful for your hard work and beautiful Poetry!

Thanks. This is probably exhaustion more than anything else. Crawling back into bed for an hour will give me the energy to get some stuff done. Or at least get my biking done.

Hour nap seems to have helped. Probably still going to take today to spend less time at the computer and get some reading done.

Thanks. Starting to recover and maybe some high energy working out will help. My plan is to stay on the couch reading until a 2/3pm on-line appointment.

Lol…sorry couldn’t help laughing a bit…but i would have tried to work the truck into it somewhere…who knows where we go when we sleep, maybe you had an exhaustive adventure. I Liked it very much.

Thanks. My head was in a fog, so the truck came afterwards. I also planned for the poem to be longer, but I zoned out for 5 minutes in the middle.
