P:A:R:A:S:O:M:N:I:A

Placing her head down to another frightful night

Arousing a taste of blood 

Running through her own subconscious 

Adrenaline rising to the abnormality

Sanguinary thoughts have far driven her emotions

Obnoxious bloody hands, reach out to the duvet, the

Malfunctioning nervous system of hers doesn't help 

No-one even likes her anymore 

It doesn't matter that she has pure intentions

At night she's a monster, waking with new scars.

Altho I'm very familiar with (& plagued by) "insomnia", I had to google "parasomnia" -- I love it when a poem teaches me a new word! *smile* I love the way you pumped up the drama & intrigue on this one. So many times a physical malady is treated in a more "complaining" way (ho! hum!) But here, you've taken us along on this nightly version of going crazy, in a monster-like way! Excellent word choices & imagery! (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

Probably I'm not an expert of modern western poetry, but this futuristic style poetry Has originality and taste! The schema of the poem is typical of ergonomic poetry: it forces the reader to consider both the content and the way the poetry is arranged in the page. This kind of visual trick creates a sense of wonder and mystery, like the words may hold a secret, untold power. Intriguing. You seem to describe a nightmarish descendant into loneliness and corruption, but surely there is more in the story than you're actually telling us. Great work, but indeed we wish you could tell us more... I close this review by saying that monsters are a true blessing to this world. and you know why? Because they are unique and special. The Latin origin of the word "monster" indeed suggests this idea: in fact "mostrum" means "thing of great wonder" or "thing to be shown". See you ;)

Not really a fan of acrostic poetry; too simplistic in style for my taste. However your strong use of vocabulary and the depth of your theme takes this one above the normal level of acrostic poems.

As one who could sleep through an earthquake, Parasomnia is an issue I am unrelated to, but it is a strange and serious condition that has drastic effects on those who suffer from it. So, well done for shining a light on this condition.

[Fatima]

Same , just gave it a shot though . Yes I agree, not much people know about it either. Thanks :-)
