~she Walks, She Talks.........She Freaks Me Out! '' Poem by Mary Nagy
~she Walks, She Talks.........She Freaks Me Out! ''
I've been told all the rumors.
I knew it could be true.
(You never really listen...
til this stuff happens to you!)
I heard that she might sleepwalk.
Oh sure, I thought, big deal!
But nothing could prepare me
for what my heart would feel!
Last night I heard a little noise
nearing towards my door.
To my suprise it was my child
walking on all fours! !
She was crawling like an animal
and heading straight towards me...
the sight's burnt in my brain now
(trust me...you HAD to see!)
I screamed and yelled right at her
and told her to 'GET OUT! '
(I know...a mother should comfort
not just scream in fear and shout) .
But I was just so freaked out
as she went back to bed...
I followed her right to her room
and watched her shake her head.
She laughed and said ''That's funny''
''Hey Chels, mom got so scared! ''
My night....completely ruined
I thought she might've cared!
Tonight, one eye is open
I'll never sleep again!
Sleepwalking is her weakness
I fear not ''if''... it's ''when''?
I think that Ernestine has put this so sensitively and so well, thankyou for this, another eye-opener in lifes rich tapestry love duncan X
Louisa used to sleepwalk Mary, you just have to turn them around and walk them back to bed, settle them down and they will be fine. Don't speak to them, just guide them. I was always walking Louisa back with no worry, they are Ok you know. Great poem about an strange occurrence, but one which is very common especially at that age. Don't be alarmed at all, but I know it's a weird thing to come across. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Original and unusual topic for a poem. I too sleep-walked as a child. It's like the most vivid dream imaginable. Enjoyed the poem and your enviable mastery of rhyme and meter.
