Awake

          So late
    or early
          who knows?
I sure as hell don't.

All this ticking
          &
goddamned tocking
    is driving me bonkers.
         
Insomnia at its finest.

          The sun is lighting a match
    setting the sky ablaze

Oh, great,
    another day
            or
          night?
      $pent awake

Author notes

I wrote this very early this morning, actually the sun was coming up. Insomnia blows nasty balls.

    Interesting, I think the spacing worked to your advantage in this case (I usually don't like funky indentations and whatnot). I don't have problems with insomnia so while I can't personally relate I do understand it and I'm sure it sucks

    Thank you for entering!

    • Be so thankful you don't suffer from insomnia. I didn't fall asleep til 9 this morning and I woke up at noon. :/

    insomnia is the plague of the thinker and dreamer.
    as always your word art only adds to the poem
    good portrayal of frustration.

  • bleh indeed it does. but other than that, it produced a very good poem. ^.^
