Thinking, I think (lol) makes the time tick by slowly especially when you cannot sleep, damn insomnia.
Fabulous write as always.

Double post

Lucero,

This is far too modern and lacks any form of traditional, 'old English' so I simply won't accept this as a po..." - :)

I like this a lot, in all seriousness - not least because it sounds like one of my typical nights where sleep eludes me and I find myself running up and down the stairs in the small hours scribbling ideas for poems. Of course, the irony is, that's what's keeping me awake to begin with!

*quick note - 'The ticking 'of' the night'. One 'f' here.

Well done and all the very best,

Ben

Well done, so have been there! My mind races with thoughts and I should be writing these down. But my brain is also telling me to sleep too. What to do???

Thinking keeps the mind awake and it can never seem to fall asleep. I can relate to this night..nicely penned.

I can relate

Ha! Ha! Ha!.. Nice poem. I like reading this one. Night like this comes in people's life. They keep on staring at the ceiling, thinking and thinking.
