Recovering     (cinquain)

Happy
or something like,
getting ok, normal.
But the past, like an evil clown,
stalking.

Sleepless
Eyes needing rest
Head pounding out the ache
Body wishing nighttime's passing
Dreamless

may as well write if I can't sleep
Always love a cinquain

That poem reminds me of my friend who is afraid of clowns.  We took him to a haunted house last year and they had clowns there, he almost pissed his pants.  The best part is that he's 22.

I was talking to a friend a couple days ago, about a bad time I went through back in the when, and how after a decade and a half, I still have little rocks in my heart from it. Later this little poem just sort-of popped outta' me. One of the rocks, maybe, who knows....

nakedthoughts, you are an absolute natural with these little things -- I love that one!

Ed~
Stones-in-turn are sometimes a good thing, reminding us (at least me) that things thought buried are excavated for a purpose~

I greatly enjoyed the cinquain formatting for these thoughts~
