Typical Evening, Late Night of Writing

Judges comment

Maple tree has this way with her writing to draw you in and imagine being there right beside her. If I smoked I would be drawing on the cigarette with her. (trying to ensure I don't make the butt soggy before handing back)
I like the layout, it is set out as a poem that should read quick, yet you can't help but read it slowly and enjoy every stanza.
Almost a 10 but stanza 6 didn't quite work for me. Yes it tells you the back-story and explains why insomnia is hanging about like an unwelcome guest. It might be that I have never been a fan of sentences broken across two lines. (Public and hallway) Yes I am that picky.
I don't want to detract from how good this is though. (on best behaviour this week)
A final point I love how the slow pace and the peaceful setting of the poem is in conflict of the drama and tension of the story it is telling. (The job must be very stressful yet very rewarding) 7 points
