I Cannot Sleep

Sponsor L MILTON HANKINS Contest Name PANTOUM ON WRITING POETRY Date of creating the poem 7 December 2022 I cannot sleep for an unknown reason, The light is off, but thoughts are in confusion... Perhaps, it is my poems writing season, as poetry is coming in profusion. The light is off, but thoughts are in confusion, and, burgeoning with rhythm and with rhymes, the words invade my mind in profusion, like it had been before in old times. They, burgeoning with rhythm and with rhymes, so easily, and full of gentle grace, like it had been before in old times, a while ago, in another place. So easily, so full of gentle grace, the words were streaming from my heart inane a while ago, in another place, when I have been in love- perhaps, insane. It’s history, but what I find odd: I cannot sleep for an unknown reason, as this is known only to God... Perhaps, it’s just a poems writing season? 7.12.2022
