dogs barked

dogs barked a lot last night

i know they saw

which i refused to see at night

as i rolled on bed at night

i also pulled to hold tight

my blanket

my eyelids too

closing very tight

my eyes though feel not

the sleep i much desired!

at dawn, from my bed i’m out

and in hand an empty wallet

but

with eyes

now

wide open!
