Karen Croft Poet Free verse

Sleepless Nights

So tired
Ready to hit the sack
I lay there restless
Legs twitching,
Arms moving in mid-air
A sudden jolt and I'm completely awake
There is no sound in our house,
No lights on
Only the sound of moving traffic on state route 66
So why can't I sleep?

Robert Pettit July 4, 2013 at 9:25 PM I suffer from insomnia if I worry about something. Sometimes, avoidance of the thoughts of precarious events is not possible.

Poet Tacito July 1, 2013 at 8:39 AM I had a similar feeling last night after being on vacation for 5 days. I was exhausted enough, but not enough to stay sound asleep? I'm just weird. lol Great piece, Karen! :)
