Whittling Poems

I drew out a pen knife
and whittled insomnia
into this little poem

Sometimes our best inspiration comes at bedtime. When the words end up keeping us awake, it's time to whittle. Many poets can relate to your concise but meaningful poem, Anthony. I keep a pen and pad by my bed so I don't have to carve the headboard. Enjoyed! Best wishes, Carolyn
