a very interesting poetry.
it is every poet’s gift to make such poems..
great post.

This is very funny. I know how nagging those drips can be, believe me, they can drive away your sleep for a long long time!

The dripping sound gets magnified in the silence and that could be annoying. I sometimes experience that. Good for you it was just a minor fix

Another great poem! That dripping spound is really annoying!

goo done

Good that you got rid of that dripping sound! It’s really annoying. Liked the way you made it a nice & cute poem. Enjoyed it!

Good to know that finally its fixed and no more drips to disturb your peaceful dream. Nice poem, it made me smile!

Nice poem as usual.

I have to try and fix my taps too………Lovely poem. Take care.

nice poem thanks

I know that feeling. Anytime, I hear a little drip, I have to stop what i am doing and close the taps tighter.

Beautifully written and I’m glad you now have peace of mind.

Lol, I had a night like this the other night, wonderfully captured Christine, I hope you managed to sleep afterwards!

We just moved into a new residence and hubby just changed all the \’\'tap washers and valves\’\’ (what we call them here) to get rid of all the \’\'drips\’\’. Lol – these knights in shining armour don’t have to do much to earn their titles these days.

wow! this one cool..wonderful and ‘extremely’ lovely poem. lov-it so much

Great writing Christine, one of your best. Taking a bad situation and making it humorous. I loved it.

Excellent poem Christine. You have captured my imagination again while I read. I could just see you tossing and turning. When I hear a drip, I just put a cloth in the sink and it softens the sound but it appears you had a bigger problem than that lol. Glad to hear you got it fixed. Great poem Christine.

Thanks for the nice poem.

Very funny, I also hate drips.That’s so good you finally could find a plumber, so you could rest well at night!

mam That’s another funny and cute poetry,Thanks for sharing mam

Liked it glad you got it fixed, cheers Christine

Great work. Thanks for sharing this one. I appreciate it.

you know even after the drip is corrected I still hear it LOL good write

Nice poem, Christine

So very well said once again, Christine. These noises can drive us crazy sometimes…

A dripping faucet can drive a person nuts…Great poem

Great poem Christine! I myself have a dripping tap that drives me nuts some days, but have yet to fix it.
Another great example of getting inspiration from the strangest events. Awesome!

This is very amusing, but a very clever poem. Glad the problem was fixed. Trying to get a good night’s sleep when there is noise is a horrible feeling.

You continue to show us that poetry is all around us. Sleep well.

This is a fun poem, and something we can all relate to. The annoying drip is bad enough, wondering if there is a major problem is even worse.

Christine, that is a wearisome sound. We had it happen not long ago and I was up and down all night trying to tighten taps. As you say the plumber had it fixed in moments.

I love the way you take ordinary and sometimes unpleasant routines of life and turn them into fun poems. I am a sound sleeper so I am not bothered by the dripping of the bathroom sink (I don\’t have the luxury of a bathroom in my bedroom). I did break a faucet trying to stop it though, so I am glad you did not use too much force. I don\’t have to call a plumber because I rent but I have so much stuff in there that no one would have room to work and I can\’t really let them come to fix it or send someone to do it until I clear it out, (an impossible), so I put up with it. I can\’t use cold water there, but I still have the kitchen sink.

Those are so torturous, one can go mad really. .

I am happy you got it repaired and got your rest. Definitely one to remember. Love it

LOL

lol when you said
” Isn’t it so annoying when you are trying to sleep and are kept awake by a drip?”
I thought you were talking about someone lol

What a great poem about something that can be incredibly annoying. Thanks for sharing.

Nice share! I have a son that loves to strong arm taps to death. I have replaced more of them than I can count! I really like this poem!

I’m also distracted by sounds especially in the evening such as drips from the faucet. Nice account of a particular situation.

I can understand, sometimes not only the drip drip drip, but also the flush flush flush sound.
Very well expressed poem.

I had some drip, drip drip to, but it happened in the bathroom; and there is a sturdy door between it and my bedroom. So it never stressed me out. Lovely poem as usual. Keep posting them.

I really enjoyed this poem. You have a lot of creative poem ideas, I always look foward to your poems!

Many can relate to this… Aside from that drip, drip, drip? there’s also the clock sound… They really don’t let us sleep… :-]

I can relate to the drip. I ended up learning first hand sink plumbing. LOL.

CR…this is a great write…I like it a lot…sorry there was a problem in the first place that caused you to write it though…something about dripping water that unnerves us because we are well aware of damage that excessive water in the wrong place can cause…thanks and take care

a tap dripping is really annoying, Thank god your knight in shining armor arrived. Really cute one Christine.

Read several of yourpoems, Christine, and I think you have a real talent at writing. I loved your style and your topic choices, and look forward to more. Hope you can find time to look at a few of my humble attempts at poetry and post yoiur coments? The thoughts of fellow poets are invaluable.

Once in a blue moon the plumber is my hero too Christine.^_^

I empathise completely, this has happened to me on several occasions. Great work turning the experience into a wonderfully written poem (as usual), I very much enjoyed it.

I don’t know how you do it, but you continually turn out one great piece after another. Knowing someone with a little handyman experience is good also. lol

You made that disgusting drip so poetic.So I drop here my great appreciation.

I can hear that drip drip drip sound now! And I can also remember when this happened to me too..

I just love reading your work, you are so funny. Thank you once again for a great poem.

I am glad you found out what was causing the drip. I heard it last time I was there. It made a very good poem.

Oh yes, I got up from bed at 1:30 am just to tightly turn off our dripping faucet. I realized it was time to call a plumber.

I love how you can take a bad situation and make a poem out of it.

Oh, I loved that. And there is nothing quite so frustrating as a dripping faucet that will not stop!

Excellently written. I could almost hear it.

I had a similar experience last night-a dripping sound that just never went away till morning! Unfortunately for me, it was dripping in my head!

Thank you everyone. I guess this is something many people suffer from. I love the comments.

Christine

Drip, drip, drip is really annoying. Glad that the knight come and solve the problem. Enjoy the peace and good sleep.

It’s certainly annoying. Just experienced the same situation last night. Good thing yours was fixed now.

You captured the anxiety wonderfully. I just had 3 leaks fixed and BOY am I relieved!

It’s the little stuff that sends you to the crazy house, right? Very nice poem, I think most of us have been there at one time or another. Thanks.

our local plumber is called “the dripping tap” – very appropriate

You do such nice work. Thank you Christine. I look forward to reading your material.

Very true – dripping tap is one of the most annoying sleep deprivers. I’ve experienced it some times.
