Strutting round
my bed,
sleep hovers
tauntingly
just beyond
the reach
of my wired
body
struggling
to find
a foxhole in
my mattress
to hide
from wakefulness

STRUGGLING to SLEEP, a poem

Novelist Online Onpaper offers my thoughts on writing, reading and publishing--and sometimes the world--at the very least on the first of each month and more often by whim. Periodically, I will review novels from the present and the past, published online or on paper. Hopefully, I won't rain on any novelist, especially those seeking their audience without the help of traditional publishers. My novels are available via Kindle, Amazon and Smashwords through my webpage: www.kennethccrowe.com
