Hibernating Insomnia - #tanka #poem #FFFC #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro


Hello, beautiful readers! For Melissa's Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge, we were given a fun picture to play around with (see below). I decided to write a tanka


bear awoke too soon
winter wonderland still here
can't fall back asleep
insomnia wreaks havoc
strings a mournful tune on harp


Would you like to write a flash fiction piece or poem about the image? Join us here.

  2. If you’re awake, might as well. That’s my mantra many mornings when my dog wakes me up in the middle of sleeping hours. Thanks for joining in, Yvette! I hope bear gets some more sleep. Or at least someone makes him a good cup of coffee.☕️🐻

    1. Haha! I guess he figures if he's awake, he might as well wake the neighbors. Lol! Thanks for stopping by, Melissa! :-)
