But Sleep Won\'t Come

Such a true story Tom, it is amazing how many things can go through your mind when trying to get to sleep.
I don\'t need to worry about my passport though, the last one I had was back in 1966. LOL

Yes, sometimes we\'re ready to sleep about an hour before it\'s time to get up! I\'m retired now, though been semi-retired for some years anyway, with redundancy from my last job. I could get up any time now, I suppose, but like to get up early-ish!

Tom, this captures the restless mind so vividly, my friend. It feels like insomnia itself is narrating...relentless, frustrating, and all too human. The humor keeps it sharp, but the exhaustion is real. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

All those things that go through the mind after one lays down. Then there is the reticence to get back up to check anything and the grinding irritation that comes with laying there not being able to let it go. Well written and identifiable

i agree with you completely - somehow i feel these gatherings are just an avenue for some narcissists to boast about their creations, and ignore the lovely work floating around - maybe that is why i avoid such meetings, and prefer to just post my work in selected forums

I\'ve had the same unfortunate experience with a zoom poetry group. All the physical poets chatted amongst themselves, barely giving the poet a passing nod.

Amused in the narrator’s wry reflection on the experience. Nicely written.

Tom, this lingers…the sting of being unheard, the chatty crowd, that one neighbor dismissing with “I wasn’t really listening.” You captured the disillusionment perfectly...the excitement turned to lesson learned. Honest, sharp, and true. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A real experience of other\'s preoccupations, Tom. A phenomenon everywhere, I would think. Why not hang in there? There\'s probably some wheat among the chaff somewhere, and because it is so rare, doubly nutritious.

Mobile phones have taken over our lives. It\'s a bigger addiction than smoking. A very strange phenomenon indeed.

Tom such a great topic and well rhymed poem that strikes so close to heart. It is not just at public readings but evident on sites as well where those that do read obviously don\'t read to understand and give just cursory remarks so that hopefully someone else will feel obligated to read their poem. We live in an egotistical self centered society where everything is about me. A great read and a fave

Please have a hearty laugh, as the poem brought to mind mind Penny Lane. Didn\'t find why- perhaps both involved images with details sprinkled in an offhand way which made them feel so real. Needless to say- Loved it!

Sometimes potentially agreeable companions may have to be distanced from if the social pressures of conformity become too great. (Can\'t see that happening to you though, Tom).
