~Whirlwinds~

Inner thought's invade subconsciously,
racing paths of endless torture.
Turmoil erupting, spewing forth worrisome lava

contaminating.

Sanity fencing obscurity causing cyclones
of unprocessed emotions.
Whirlwinds of confusion,
tossing and turning on pin points;
life's trampoline.

Flawed and worn pieces of life providing solace

on that lonely path of sleepless nights.

    Sis, you took the words out of my mouth, only 10 times better than I could ever do. So many nights, tossing and turning, sleeping for 1/2 hour then up again. IT is sheer Hell. Everyday we live brings an overload of either positive or negative energy. ON the negative days, our minds won't sleep, though our weary bodies wish it. Your imagery is fantastic. Your title leads to your detailed agony. Looks like it could be GOLD! Hope so!

    Wow, beautiful done! This is a kind of poem you must read and re-read it again...some amazing imagery here, there is much almost violent moving in your poem, but also some strong realistic clearity, very interesting..you choice your words very carefully, very concentrated. Great job and good luck in the contest
