To those poets out there who have been suffering from insomnia, this contest is for you!
The theme is INSOMNIA!!!
My Rules:
Give me rhyme or give me free verse.
Strike me with brevity, give me lines of less than twenty.
Don't make me sleep, don't make me weep.
Trouble my mind, or make me lost it for a time.
If you can't drive me insane,
Then give me a piece that will keep me at peace
when my insomnia kicks in.
The Disaster Herself,
DRAY

If you change your mind and decide to admit "previously written" work, please let me know.

Too bad you aren't taking prewrites ...
as I have one on just this subject. However, I'm far too ill just now to write anything, so will have to pass on this.
Good luck with it anyway. -
Thanks for bronze !
Congrats to all the winners!
