Somewhere... out there...

~Piptalk.com~

three a.m. again
haven't slept a wink tonight
answered passions' call

just one poem more
ok...maybe two or three
reading until dawn

body conquers mind
eyelids close with want of sleep
time to say goodnight

resting weary head
count senryu instead of sheep
dream in word and rhyme

sleep the day away
wake refreshed to evening sun
brand new verse to pen

log onto the net
piptalk.com here i come
do it all again

heart, you have not truely met the poet."

Very neat!  An insomniac's senryu - excellent job Vicky (psst, check the time) maybe there should be a forum for those of us that do not sleep?) Well done!

Oh WOW you must have been peeking into my room at that time and must have seen me sitting there , cheeks all red   , eyes wide open   , gasping at all those beautiful poems  

Loved this one very very much because I do relate to it so well.

poetry should come with a warning about being so addicting.
now we need poerty-aholics.com  

cute, clever and creative senyru collection Vicky..
and very true..
even a cowboy hat wearing "rehab warden" couldnt keep me out of here long LOL
(of course that could have been due to the fact the warden needed poetry rehab as well)
LOL

only you could give love that satisfies the soul...
see the darkness of my heart and still won't let me go.

you've got it bad and so do I
no matter how I try and try
to stay away and do some work
but when I'm here, I really perk

cuz all you poets are so fun
coming here is not out done
that even obligation, such
cannot keep me out of touch

well, most

if they're only to myself
the obligations, that is

This is a classic, Vic, and well portrays the passionate addict insomniac, while keeping a clever senryu format. I really liked your word selection and placement...I can tell a lot of thought went into this sleepless dream.
