    Thank you, Nicki, it's funny how we all just come up with random things depending on what's going on that inspires creativity.

Don't you just hate it when inconsiderate owls and snoring bed buddies disturb the creative process.
In my case its either the dogs snoring or the cats purrs messing with my thoughts.
Great poem and good luck.
Tim

    Thank you, Tim, we used to have an owl that I could hear every night and I haven't heard him lately so I miss his hooting. But kitty and doggy cuddles are the next best interruptions or inspirations.

The author's words are interesting, clear and creative. The poem flows
and connects well. I liked the format the author used along with the
background color. The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem.

I do a lot of my writing and reviewing while my wife sleeps quietly by my side, it really helps to know she's here, and that God's silent presence is likewise here. A beautifully composed and written entry in this contest, well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you, Roy, it is peaceful having your spouse sleeping next to you while you're awake hoping to be able to write a piece that others will appreciate. And it's often times in God's presence that I too get inspired.

This all sounds vaguely familiar to me lol This is a good entry for the 3-6-9 contest. I think writers and creative people in general must get the worst sleep of anyone! Good luck in the contest.

You should find poetry in that snoring thing beside you. The rules are simple. Listen to anyone except me. This is a wonderful place to try new types of writing. You will figure out the politics and who those trusted few are. We all have our own style. Make them like you. don't just leave it up to them. Be bold. Good luck. I look forward to reading.

    Yes, that's funny, because apparently I did find poetry in the snoring because of the snoring. Thank you for your review.

A nice composition,Lana. Do I get a sense of irritation at the interruption of your creativity in the second stanza? Good luck in the contest, I have an entry as well: "Shrouded". May we both do well.

    Thank you, I'll have to look yours up as well. I wasn't really quite irritated, but it worked out well to add that to a second but yes, there are times where different noises interrupt my thought process.

I love how you capture the atmosphere around you in the poem. All the three verses are perfectly rendered and reflect the feeling around me. Well done, dear Lana. Great job. Good luck in the contest.

Very relatable. Nothing quite like lying awake with ideas racing through your head only to be interrupted by all the outside distractions. Good structure, follows the scheme perfectly. Not sure if it needs to rhyme but you did rhyme every third line which I enjoyed.

Hey, you! It's so great to see you on FanStory, Lana Marie! Welcome back! A great poem in a most challenging form. Sounds strikingly similar to my life, LOL! Looks like a ribbon winner to me. Again, welcome back, and my best wishes in the contest.
Take care!

    Thank you, Sally! I've been meaning to come back for a while, but life excuses got in the way and one day I just decided, regardless of how busy life can be, I needed to try again because I hadn't been being too creative. Thank you for the review and your kind words and your enthusiastic welcome! I'm glad to be back.
