Sleep

Sleep

A Poem by Wyrn Tiger

we are kids, I am dad,

up at 10:00          

banging pots and pans                                The Force has not awaken

and blaring heavy music bands                   The walls are being shaken

brother jumping on the beds                      I am too tired to yell

sister throwing thing at our heads              sounds like something just fell

We don't want to go to                                 I just want to to

Sleep

I like the form and I like the progression. The two sides of this absurdity is amusing, and you really pulled it off. If I may give some suggestions for tweaks for the sake of musicality and rhyme:

- the "brother" and "sister" lines should be the hard active verb rather than the gerundive: "brother jumps upon the beds/sister throws things at our heads" (there's smoother musicality in that).

- "awoken" and "shaken" don't really rhyme, and since you make it a habit of rhyming those four intermediate lines, then best try using "awaken" ("the Force has yet to awaken").

Other than that, I much enjoyed this. Well done!

Haha, it's amusing to read! Two sides of perspectives into one makes the story more appealing and relatable. Hope that we wont get such headaches when we're dads.
