Insomnia (senryu)

one more sleepless night
mantra chanting, mindful breathing…
toss – turn – groan

crying over spilt milk
many moons ago
such a bitter taste

daybreak
already at four thirty!
eyelids get heavy.

eyelids closing
body acquiesces…
all except the brain

mindless chatter
time to get up for work
one more sleepless night

  1. Sorry for this challenge. Makes working days really hard. I had to take Gene to the airport for a 7 AM departure on Monday. Woke up every hour all night long. Took a long nap after I returned home.
