Insomnia (free verse) |

Another sleepless night Where I seek to dream and yet I am awake. Sighing at ungrateful pillow. Wandering in my mind over and over. Endless tossing, turning. Can't stop thinking. Seems unending as the clock berates me in the night over and over. Out of my bed, I stumble. Perhaps a nice stroll will lead me to slumber? Yet here I am, still awake. I don't dabble in free verse often. I wrote this some time ago and never thought much of it. It is fitting at this time of night though, so I thought I'd share it. um...g'night. LOL |

Cool poem. I myself have had many a sleepless night, many for no reason at all. It is rather irritating, especially when you have something important the next day, and you need sleep. I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion |

Sally- I like what you've said and can understand the not-sleeping-hours of our nights. I welcome them as awakened-moments that are meant to be, just for me. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I can really relate, Sally. One of the bad things about staying awake is that you don't get much sleep  uh, 'night, Sally! |

Very nice....but don't worry you will sleep enough when you are dead....LOL There are two kinds of pedestrians...the quick and the dead. Drive it like you stole it. |
