Insomniac Poem by Maya Angelou

I need to sleep; I want to sleep; I dread to sleep! HRL

A beautiful short and very true poem. How I relate to it. Simply splendid.10/10

To me, being an insomniac is the best thing for my poetry. All my flashes of insiration happen late at night! Great relatable poem. Please check out some of mine - new to this site and would love to 'Get the ball rolling' and get any feedback; positive or negative - on my writing! thanx (some poems of mine include to be free, do you...etc)

i can picture this poem in my mind being read over and over and over again as i lie in bed and cannot get my brain to fall asleep

so says the insomniac! ! ! ! ! ! one has to first love and appreciate the fine art of poetry to fully understand Maya's work.

A beautifully penned poem on a common understanding. The metaphysical refinement is missing.

it is poetic insomnia

There are some nights when sleep plays coy, aloof and disdainful. Wounded pride and it is very painful. tony
