So annoying when you can't sleep!39 total reviews

You tell 'um girl!! This poetic work of yours could have been written about me. I am a nighttime writer. This poem has good rhyme and flow. I especially liked this:
An hour passed by, and finally I grasped the meaning of addiction As I stumbled through the darkness to my laptop in the kitchen
Enjoyed!

There do indeed seem to be a few of us, if the reviews are anything to go by. We've all been rumbled! Thank you so much for the lovely review.

An enjoyable little rave about the addictive nature of this thing we do. I too get writing ideas at night or more happily first thing before I wake up - however, I usually resist the urge to get up and write them down, preferring to concentrate on them hard enough so that they're still there in the morning - well sometimes!

I wish I could do that! Sadly, I've got a memory like a sieve, so nothing is retained by the morning. Thank you so much for the lovely review.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
This is terrific!
"She now spends nights before a screen, and sleeps for half the day!"
That's me ALL the time, I'm afraid. I keep saying I'll get to bed earlier, but it just doesn't happen. :)

I guess you have to be ready whenever your muse is.
Love your poem about a sleepless night and how
your used the awake time.
Strong rhyme and meter and ideas expressed.
clearly.

Well Done ~ Alexis
Many poets can relate to this topic. How many tasks
have been delayed, avoided, skipped, arrived tardy
because a phrase, a line, a word, a punctuation
mark MUST be written or revised. Thank You for your
creation.

HAZZAH! HAZZAH!! HAZZAH!!! Three cheers for the Heroine writer! ;-) Again Alexis you have brought smiles and chuckles as well as a look into the mica backed glass!!! Here's to your midnight addiction that is most productive.
Well written, no spag, and as usual flows as smoothly as fine Scotch should. Steve

He he! I'm so glad you liked it, Steve. I'm going through a bit of a comedy phase at the moment which could be why poor Laura is still waiting to get off that ship. I'd probably have her doing something eccentrically ridiculous if my muse was let loose on her at the moment! Thank you, my friend - your reviews always bring a smile to my face.

Comment from Carole Rosa
Alexis, Non-sleep becomes you. I liked this humorous poem and I found it to ring true all the way into Michigan. I get up many nights to write. It is truly an addiction. Great poem. Carole

Don't say that! I'm bad enough as it is. Thank you so much for the great review.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello alexisleech,
I think that people are inspired to write during the late night and wee hours of the morning because the "cache" has finally cleared through their minds and their thoughts rest unpolluted.
This poem reads and flows well, and I have no suggestion for improvment. Of note ...
So, sorry Kids, it's my time now, the tables have been turned. My right to write whene'er I like is well and truly earned!
(Exactly. There's no term papers due, no tests that need to be studied for, no early class to catch.)
I also could relate to:
Two cups of tea had passed through me to activate my plumbing!
(And if a cookie or two accompanies those cups of tea, then a pound or two will active the dreaded bathroom scale - lol.)
A fun poem. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

You're absolutely right, but fortunately, I haven't much of a sweet tooth. The bad news is, if I'm not asleep by 3 o'clock, I resort to a glass if wine. Works a treat!(not so good for the writing though)

Comment from Spitfire
Love it, Alex. So sorry I'm out of sixes already. I'm up writing until two in the morning so I connect with this.
Great comment on teens lost in cyber space and the tables have turned. I'm still chuckling at this.

Comment from Pen&Ink
Love this couple of lines: "An hour passed by, and finally I grasped the meaning of addiction
As I stumbled through the darkness to my laptop in the kitchen"
Some nifty internal rhymes here: "Such irony, I've got to say, for when they were in their teens
Their nights were spent in cyber space, their lessons spent in dreams
So, sorry Kids, it's my time now, the tables have been turned
My right to write whene'er I like is well and truly earned!"
I can't think of a suggestion to improve your craftsmanship. Great rhymes, rhythm and a unique spin on a topic with which many can identify.
