famous poem starters

Begin your blog  with the line:  Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
From The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
eyes blinking to clear the foggy mind that has come
each foot stumbling onto each stair
a glance at the clock; 4:39 a.m.
body quivering from the sleepy chill
scattering clothes as you come closer to the bed
head heavy,
eyes droopy,
feet pulsing,
hands shaking.
sliding into the cool sheets
the weight from the blankets bringing security
each breathe evening out
sleep.
