Insomniac

Insomniac

Deepest dark night

It always twitches

---------------------

3am with might

The hourly witches

---------------------

4am it's light

That need switches

----------------------

5am the slight

Of sleep itches

----------------------

6am no fright

Head in ditches

-----------------------

7am alarm-plight

In need of stitches

-----------------------

8am to flight

It's Morning bitches

-------------------------

Ha!! I love that last line.
The whole poem is an effective kaleidoscopic glance into the insomniac's mind; and despite its simplicity, there's a rather sophisticated progression from that first 'twitch' (the first intimation that it's going to be one of those nights), through the whole gamut of just not being able to sleep.

Bravo, my darling!!

There is an attractive edge to your poetry which means it tackles topics from interesting perspectives.

Not a great sleeper I was drawn to this ! It is very well structured as is all your work and has that indefinable quality which shows what an artistic bent you have.

Keep 'em coming ! Love reading your creations.

Blooming well done and said Lorna and talk about getting into an insomniac's mind.
For you really nailed it with this write, for  those sleepless nights are a real pain.
I'll be up all night thinking about while trying to get to sleep, still, can always count sheep. Last time I counted to 29,762!!! Bummer!
Great to read your older posts my friend and thanking you most kindly : )x.
Back tomorrow night for more journeying back.👍
