Life, Sleepless Nights, and Man's Best Friend. WeBook Poetry Vote.
"Hyperglycemia" is a Sestina poem that is a random caracature about life.
"Insomnia" is a poem about my numerous and re-occuring bouts with insomnia. Thankfully it hasn't happened in quite awhile now.
"Kaliber's Playday" is about my Black Labrador named Kaliber, or Kal for short. She is the greatest hunting sidekick and pal one could ask for.

Steve, I enjoyed reading these. I know we all can relate to the vain desire to get some sleep that you portrayed in Insomnia, and I thought Kaliber's Playday was a good choice to lighten the mood from the other two, more somber poems.
From a purely poetic standpoint, Hyperglycemia is my favorite simply because you took on such a difficult format and pulled it off in an interesting way.

Insomnia definitely strikes a chord with me! The amount of nights I have had to just get up, because I can't bear waiting for sleep to come!
Your poems show deep feeling . . . a definite yes! Good luck!

General:
Well at least I have a better grasp of where some of your imagery comes from. Sleep deprivation can conjure some extremely vivid and intense psychological moments.
These are very well-written pieces that give a very real sense that the author is writing from personal experience. It's one thing to write what you know, it's quite another to be able to convey it in such a way that those who do not know gain understanding. That's what you do here.
I would gladly support any of these for publication but my personal favorite is Insomnia as it has the more stark, edgy feel about it that I love.
Imagery:
Excellent imagery throughout all three pieces.
