Water Flows Freely

.
                                              Eleven P.M.
                                Now twelve midnight, two A.M.
                                         Water flows freely

                                       Sleep eludes my eyes
                              Three A.M., four-thirty, augh, sigh
                                          Water flows freely

I love this, Sara. Your comparison is creative and sounds a lot like me at night actually. It's a very bad feeling, and in just 6 short lines, you manage to capture that entirely. You are extremely talented :) I look forward to reading more of your work! I hope the holidays bring you joy this year, even through the struggles and heartache. Keep writing. -Katie :)

I hope you don't have a leaky water heater, Sara, or a leaky roof. Either one would keep you awake until at least 5:A.M. Love, Dave

A different approach on the challenge that one can also relate with-- time is indeed like water flowing-- praying for Tommy for Dec. 20-- and for Tommy Jr. as well-- I hope you are feeling good this week, Sara :) -- nikko

Hello, you commented on my poem "Allie", thank you, it is not my life but was inspired by someone I know. They are in a safe place now, thank goodness, and he is in jail. =)
