These things I use, instead of counting sheep.
But, I sleep not a peep.

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
Too much math? I name the colors and even make up a few. Sleep well, my friend.

The theory was that the math would give the brain a good workout and make it tired. Nope.

I have to bore mine to death. It is hard to sleep with a racing mind and two 25 pound cocker spaniels draped over you! I have even tried earphones with music but every time the rhythm changes the dogs wake up. Can’t win!

Hah! Boring yourself works sometimes …I try naming the 50 states, even though I’m Canadian. As for pets in the bed, I keep my door closed.
