a e i o u' s

a e i o u' s


Yesterday i couldn't get any sleep,
engaged with my work, i got drawn too deep.

I sank, i drowned ,desperately looking for a ground,
an exit or escape i couldn't hitherto found.

Felt as if i was on a Mobius strip,
so i tapped a few keys to get a grip.

I removed a few letters and then added a few,
using the consonants and the a e i o u's.

These words and phrases seemed to be my only solace,
a promise for everything to rhyme and fall in place.
