A powerful description of insomnia in this acrostic poem - my daughter suffers from this and from what she has told me, you have captured the feelings precisely!! Brooke

Boy, haven't we all been there before! I know I have. You know I like acrostics, and this one is no exception Cuz. The rhyming in this piece gives it the added flavor and flow I find so desirable in a good work.
Great stuff cuz!
Sincerely,
Curt

I know exactly how you feel when You have trouble sleeping
and the longer you can't sleep for, the more irritated you get, and the more irritated you get, the harder it is to sleep

been there, done that

My, you're on a roll--from haiku to an acrostic in one day. In reading this poem, I forgot it was an acrostic. Well done. The picture also captured the nightmare effectively.

I had one of these nights last night, so you can imagine how I am feeling today after tossing and turning all night. I think it is a good acrostic, not great but I wish you good luck in the contest Kay

OOOOH, how frustrating it is to be a poor sleeper. I know of what your write. I am an insomniac so I identify with every visceral word you write that describes a night without sleeping. Oh, yes! A yawn! Only to find out it goes nowhere. This is a very good acrostic poem to enter in the contest. You capture it perfectly. mslyla

This grabbed my attention, it was so a fact of my life until six months ago.

I could not get to sleep, and if I did I could not stay asleep, I was always tired. Turns out it was Sleep Apnea - scary stuff. So I can totally relate to your poem. No spags. Well done.

Oh yeah! Apnea is a very big deal. Did you get one of those contraptions to help you breath properly?? Hope it has been worked out. Thanks for your review. Best to you, Sue

Hello my friend,
Boy do I know about this. I sleep on the average four hours per night. I have learned to live with it. It seems that you have met all requirements for the contest and good luck my friend... Dreamdancer

I am looking into a crystal ball. I see you sleeping for two whole weeks, catching up on all that lost sleep!! I don't know how you can get through the day with 4 hrs sleep! And having to work. Always love your reviews, dreamdancer...Sue

Nice rhymed acrostic poem. Nothing forced and flowed well. Boy have I been there sometimes. Good description.

Thanks for sharing,
