Sleepless Infinitian

I can’t let my eyes close this night Now and then I try so hard Sleep waits for me in vain On a couch I lay Morn will come soon No sleep comes In at All Ralph Sergi October 8, 2015 Trashed#3 Sponsor Broken Wings

Hi Connie: Thanks for your comment. I know a few people who have been afflicted with insomnia and can be debilitating.

Insomnia makes a zombie out of you. I can also relate. I have suffered from it for most of my life, but a year ago my husband got pycnogenol pills for me and after taking them for a few weeks I have never been bothered with insomnia any longer. It is a safe dietary supplement. So if you suffer from insomnia check it out. I thought your poem relatable to so many. Great entry for the contest Ralph!

Hello Ralph, This one with "INSOMNIA" aptly sums up what happens to some of us who are obsessive writing junkies. I'm guilty!! Great write. Cheers, Gary
