We've all been there - all-nighters are not fun for anyone!

Burning eyes, too tired
watch fingers limp over the keys
Letters black on white, seemingly mired,
in an academic trial to please

 

It becomes a race in time
to analyse, probe and write,
to create a paradigm
before the mind succumbs to its plight

Ah caffeine, that glorious drug
Its legality is a godsend
Psychoactive compounds fight off the fug
wisps of sleep it apprehends.

A beautiful write!
Yes, we all are students here.
Beautiful rhyming and nicely executed thought make your write amazing.
We get addicted, academic trial facing pleasure trials is fine....but I differ with the race element.
Third stanza is very beautiful.. I loved reading this write....
Keep sharing more ......

Many thanks for your kind words! I'm really glad you liked the last stanza, as I find I tend to lose the rhythm when I tie it off at the end. You have soothed my worry :)

Like this. Being a morning writer, usually quickly and before work, cannot relate to the fatigue, struggle to finish.However guess we are all now, and will ever be , students of this old poetry malarkey

Thanks a lot indeed :) I envy you being a morning person! I try, I love the early mornings, but for some reason I'm more inspired at odd hours of the night.
