Notes About The Poem

10/15/2025 for IN HONOR OF AN ODE Poetry Contest sponsored by Nette Onclaud

An Insomniac

Dark circles 'neith bloodshot eyes, 
problems increasing in size.
Oh, how I can empathize.
Constantly, she racks her brain.
Her grip, she fights to retain.
She drops off, won't go insane...

Just then, her alarm clock cries.
