This one has no name specifically. Off the top of my currently-not-so-creative head, I'd call it 'My lust for Slumber.' Very simple personification has been used. The reason I've written it is because I was complaining to a friend that I wasn't being able to fall asleep and hence, might as well write today's post. He said "Sleep>Blog" This one's just to prove him wrong. Good night!
Try as I may,
I cannot make Slumber love me.
He runs away and hide,
Only to return at ten past eight.
I spot him from afar,
I try to hold him close.
But slithering out of my reach,
He manages to escape.
All I want is an hour with him,
I'm even willing to pay -
I have not slept a wink,
For far too many days.
He finally concedes,
And pulls the blanket over us.
I'm in bed with him now,
Please do not disturb.
