At 4 a.m. this morning, my niece was calling out in her sleep again for almost an hour, so I grabbed my laptop from the floor beside the bed to record her comments. Then as I was about to fall asleep with my computer on my lap, I had an idea for a poem. Without opening my eyes, I wrote it down before going back to sleep. Here it is, as I discovered it when I woke up this morning:
I’ve been axeoa rhw oxwN.
I’CW Ailws xeoaa rhw aw
ONLY RO SIAXOCWE
RHWEW IA NO PLxw doe mw
aILIF ON RHW VEINWY,
Ailinf on rhw qrwe.
InarwS I’M ARyinf ahoewaisw
wzXRLY QHWEW I OUFHR RWE.
My advice? Never write a poem in the middle of the night with your eyes closed.
Good one.

Ha.. Perhaps the garbled version is more interesting than the actual one printed above in comments.. or below. Unsure if these comments are posted chronologically or newest first.

Lol Maybe it’s a cryptogram puzzle.

You forgot to include the translation for us. I just had my two-day round of chemo again, so was up at 2am dealing with the blow it deals to my bladder control. 😦

I’ve been across the ocean,
sailed across the sea,
only to discover
there is no place for me
floating on the briny,
traversing the sea.
Instead I’m staying shoreside––
where I ought to be.
I finally figured this out by putting my fingers on the correct keys and typing the gobbledygook, which came out close enough to the intended meaning for me to figure out the words.

It’s bad for the first several days. Little warning and poor control — I have to be close by and move FAST. Which makes for special problems at night. Thankfully by the weekend control will be much better.
