    I can identify with this one Christopher. Lately it's the weather keeping me awake.
    Here in the Northeast the snow just won't quit.

    snowplows rumble

    Thanks Kathe. Lots of fitful nights lately with sciatica pains. I wrote a lot of bad poems about the ticking of clocks.

    —CHRISTOPHER PICKSLAY

    Sorry to hear about your sciatica. It's bad enough being troubled in your sleep over business and/or family issues, but something physical stopping you as well, it's plain awful.

    warm regards,

    Alan

    So sorry to hear you are in pain. This is a highly relatable ku for anyone who has trouble sleeping for any reason, but as Alan has said, when the pain is physical it is truly horrible. A simple, but strong, poem.
