Sleepless Nights

 

Sleepless Nights   ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Intrusive thoughts expand within a mind compelled to chase Muse's nightly dreams where sleep remains a wistful contemplation entranced by reverberating ideas' magic wand. Night is daylight's dark master sending writers' block to its spiraling defeat. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Auden Tanka 7-5-7-5-7-5 The arrangement is not according to the number Of syllables, but according to the number of words. One stanza of six lines only No strings No rhyme or set measure. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ By Sharon Miller Bolander    © 2009  (All rights reserved)

This is enchanting! Very dreamy and well written..... "Night is daylight's dark master
sending writers' block to its spiraling defeat" I love this last line!

This is a lovely Tanka Sharon. The presentation, the words the music (ahhh " Sleepwalk", love it!) were all spot on.
Much enjoyed!
