I'll just leave this here... Yes, yes, yes. I can so relate to this though could not have written this anywhere near as good as you have. I love the pauses in my opinion the effect (or is that affect) they have is very important.

Take care

Yep, insomnia's a bugger eh! You've captured its torment really well :-) x
=^.^=

Amen Michael, amen... Well stated. Insomnia is awful, vicious cycle the next day struggling to stay awake only to go to bed the next night wide awake.

Mr D
A wonderful acrostic, no doubt kept you up all night :)

Michael

I really like this dude and the acrostic is killer,

Insomnia is a thing that is best described with an F word. If I can get to sleep it's not so bad, unfortunately that is the problem. Once asleep I'm out of it. I may wake sometimes but not so often of late. However I rarely get to sleep before 1 or 2 in the morning and when you have to rise at 6am you are a wreck for the entire day.

I pity those who go through the entire night, I've been there and it's not funny.

An excellent Artistic and well deserved nomination. Milly x

This paints a very vivid picture in my head, and I relate to it so very well.
I enjoyed this piece, thank you.

Amazing acrostic. Such a poetic way of describing the struggle and movement of an insomniac. Magnificent vocabulary.

i did mean to come back and comment on this..
Sorry!!!!

Insomnia is a Bitc.. with a capital B!!!!

I loved this Mr D... Nominated

Oh wow...loved this Mr. Darcy. Insomniac here.

Ok....my thoughts *cough* :)

In between elastic ticks,

Night time contort this bed. (contorts?)

Smoldering its wicked wick, ..I was disappointed that you used the american spelling for smouldering.

On endless razor thread. . .

Manic curls a thining smile, (thinning)

Night's where he likes to dance;

It's death by breath, so salty vile. . .

Awake, I weep, upon his Lance.

I'm not sure if these 'errors' were a deliberate ploy on your part to tie in with in the insomnia subject or whether the site self corrected the spelling but...I just found it weird coming from you my friend. Still, I did enjoy the poem...

Congratulations Mr Darcy!

Michael, it is lovely to see you back up on the front page of PnQ - you have returned with two marvellous pieces of poetry.
