Silent Nights/ Ruhige Nächte/ Noches Silenciosasa

Insomnia fails Shadows spread and dance In silent nights --------------------------------------- Keine Schlaflosigkeit Schatten breiten sich aus, tanzen In stillen Nächten -------------------------------------- Insomnio falla Sombras extienden, bailan En noches silenciosas

"insomnia fails" very short and concise way of expressing sleepiness. I like how you kept it in the moment. Nice haiku.

Terrible to have a problem with insomnia for sure...Of course, it opens the door to writing in the still and quiet of the night when all quiet things speak to us..Enjoyed reading of your work..You blessed my morn by stopping by, reading, and commenting on my work..Sara

Quite a bewitching poem, Gert. I love the way the "Shadows spread and dance." Insomnia never fails me, though, I stay awake most nights. Love, Carolyn
