Wicked Mischief

Stealthily and with no invitation, Wicked Mischief rides into my night, dismounts and strides inside. How impolite! For rudely she intrudes - this aberration, bearing that unholy “deprivation” strongly brewed with venom of her spite, and if I can, I’ll try to expedite her speedy flight; thus my liberation. My desperation’s growing all the while. Can I fight her power? Can I flee her whisperings unceasing that so rile me? Oh, precious seconds gone! I see light of day. Sweet sleep she did defile. Insomnia has wrought fait accompli. March 9,2014 For the Love or Hate, Pick a Subject 2 Poetry Contest of Shadow Hamilton I hate Wicked Mischief!!

A constant conversation with Jesus is our only chance to belay the berage of incessant evil. Peace. Hate the hate. :)

A unique way of describing insomnia by gently taking the reader to your private place where sanity can drift and unravel. Emile. #7

I wish I could do something as clever and inspirational as a poem when wicked mischief, insomnia, shows up. I just stare out into the night wondering why oh why can't I sleep. I see why you can't sleep the words flying around inside your head.
