BAD NIGHT HAIKU

(And on the third day...)

Monday night’s dramas
Prevented me from getting
A decent night’s sleep.

Knowing that the phone
Could ring at any time
Kept me up all night.

Just lying awake -
All of that thinking prevents
The rest I deserved.

Possible outcomes
Keep me thinking darkest thoughts
Throughout a long night.

Contemplation of
Troubling scenarios -
Conscious all that time.

The dawn’s light breaking
My mind still remains racing
I’ve been up all night.

April 9th 2013 -
We very nearly made it to four entire days before the boomerang effect happened this time... :-(
