So this week I finally began my English Literature course at Newcastle Uni. I'm really looking forward to getting into the creative writing module I chose, hoping it'll help with both this blog and my writing in general. Due to it being freshers week last week I've been really busy so haven't had time to sit down and write much on here, so in absence of a new piece, I'm uploading a small poem I wrote a while ago about that problem so universal: not being able to get to sleep. I want to sleep, yet I cannot -
there is too much to do. My heavy lids have had their lot, but this is nothing new. I cannot think, I cannot write, yet soldier on I must, the best of thoughts occur at night- I shan’t let them turn to dust. The land of slumber beckons me, I protest: “just one more verse!” Soon off to doze I’ll blithely go, Though I’ll do some thinking first. M.M
