something kept me up
all night
body still but mind
churning, burning
caffeinated thoughts chasing
each other like children on
a playground
tag you’re it
I wait for waves of slumber
to drown the bustling mind
tomorrow I’ll try warm
milk and a bedtime story
rhymeswithbug 
A clever and rather entertaining post…

I’m so sorry for your insomnia–I can sleep, but I still have crazy movies playing through all night, so not too restful.

Uniquely prompted. As a committed insomniac (of which I partook last night) this poem is so very poignant!

I’m up with insomnia and decide to catch up on Haiku horizons. This is the first thing I see. LOL! Thanks. I feel less alone. 🙂
