A Tanka
Thoughts invade my mind
Trying to sleep, I count sheep
One, two, three, four, five
Doze off for thirty minutes
Beep, beep alarm clock goes off
A related post titled, Better Sleep for Increased Productivity can be found here. I wrote this back in March 2024. It is a helpful addition to the poem about insomnia that reflects the importance of sleep.
Thank you for taking the time to read my poem, Held Hostage by Insomnia. 💞🙏🏽

The challenge this week for Tanka Tuesday is to focus on cleansing/purification. The poem I wrote looks at cleansing from a spatial standpoint. I used this definition as my guide to shape the poem for this week-to rid of something seen as unpleasant, unwanted or defiling.
Cleansing by way of removing clutter is wonderful. Donating all those things no longer needed or wanted, gives those items utility. A second life, if you will. Someone else can enjoy the items rather than throwing them away. Spatial freedom makes way for clarity.
Thank you, Yvette for the prompt this week. Also, thank you to all for stopping by to read. Stay well and be blessed💞
