It's two a.m. now.
Why am I not sleeping then?
Dreams, take me away..

    I personally love and adore sleepless, late nights.. Its the best time to write for me.

    I truly love small poems, they have depth and a ton can be said in a few lines.

    this was a joy to read!!

    insomnia is a b I t c h though I reckon yours is more worry recently with recent events.

    Hello Naomi

    As you know, I am no stranger to the late night frustrations of being unable to sleep and you have conveyed those feelings well in a senryu here.
    All I would say from a technical point is that I have often been told by people far more knowledgeable than I about the subject that you shouldn't repeat words in such short forms as no space should be wasted. Here, the problem is easy to fix, I would imagine.

    Second line: Why am I not sleeping THEN

    'then' replaces the 'now', thus preventing the repetition.

    Up to you, of course, but either way, a nice little write.

    Tale care.

    Naomi, there's nothing worse than not being able to fall asleep. Sometimes our minds just refuse to shut down. Nice little senryu describing just that. hugs- Brenda
