FIRST PLACE

An Insomniac

 

              An insomniac awake,
        with nights in a real mess !
             Oh, one can try many things;
    music, meditation, baths,
                   writing poetry, praying,
          with minds astir and racing. 
          Or give up and do housework !

Daniel Henry Rodgers October 21, 2025 at 10:03 AM Dear Constance, This one made me smile and wince in recognition. Oh, that restless, racing-mind feeling. It’s funny, a little tragic, and totally true. Thank you for turning sleeplessness into something poetic and relatable. Autumn Blessings, Dear Constance, Daniel Constance La France October 24, 2025 at 3:24 PM Daniel, thank you for the great comment, I do a lot of housework in the middle of the night, lol, Constance

Valsa George October 20, 2025 at 9:21 PM Though we may not be able to sleep, lying quiet on bed will give us rest and doctors say it will compensate for our lack of sleep. Not quite sure. I feel what you suggest may be fruitful. All the best, dear Constance. The image chosen is so suggestive. Constance La France October 24, 2025 at 3:30 PM Valsa, thank you for the great comment, well thought housework many not seem restful, my apartment has never been cleaner, Constance
