The Fog of Four AM
by Mike Stevens

Hello Mike

Cool rhymed poem. Excellent rhyme except this stanza....

wonder what is the reason?
Answers taunt me, haunt me "you have none!"

Maybe you did it on purpose.

I have problems with insomnia too.

Well done!

Your poem is excellent. Your rhythm scheme is very good. The third stanza is a little difficult to discern the rhythm but it's there. There is a nice meter going on. The ruminations of an insomniac is an interesting theme in your poem. As usual by the last stanza your poem puts a smile on my face; hexagon speech?

    Thanks, P. J.--perhaps now that I'm more awake I can improve it?

This is an excellent rhyming poem, with interesing, varied rhymes. These are all solid except hover/covers. As cover is an acceptable alternative to covers, as a purist I would have used it.
