A 2008 3:15 Experiment Poem for the Moon

never notice you moon
when you wake up this late
a big gulp out of your face
you’ll be high in the sky
when we wake up
but we won’t see you
we’re not looking
there is so much we don’t see
it’s amazing we can tie our shoes

c. Gwendolyn Alley aka Art Predator

I am still trying to finish transcribing my 2008 3:15 Experiment Poems and to get them on the 2008 3:15 Experiment website! (For the uninitiated, the 3:15 Experiment is where participants wake up every night at 3:15am to write…and then post their hypnopmpic/hypnogogic scribblings w/o editing on the website!)

Distractions, distractions, lovely, yummy distractions…

I promise to return momentatily to the following series of posts: the WIne Bloggers Conference in Santa Rosa last weekend, and buying a car the previous weekend for me to drive to the Wine Bloggers Conference in Santa Rosa!

    I haven’t slept in days… can I be awake at 3:15 and post?

    Sher, I know the feeling! The Wine Blogging Conf I just attended was about drinking and blogging, certainly not about sleeping! (I maybe got 4 hours each night…)

    Of course you can set your alarm and write tonight–or any night! posting tho would likelu take you out of the half awake half asleep state–the editor will likely wake up and the creator may go back to sleep!

    I hope you will join us next August!
