Poetry From Insomnia

There was a post over at this wonderful blog Eat a Pomme that inspired me this 3 a.m. titled - 16 Word Experiment

I enjoyed the challenge and was a lovely thing to write poetry while not sleeping.


******

The train whistle blows
warnings at 3:18 and I know
such things should
not be heard

******

I close my eyes
but no dreams come
only images of
children lost in the
night

And at The One Minute Writer this morning the prompt was for a Haiku (5-7-5) after closing your eyes and turning around to write what you see.


******

It is the darkness
that envelopes me here, now
that tears at my soul

*****



I swear I am not depressed.

Not depressed, just nicely under the covers a bit.
