I can certainly understand when one is sleep-deprived by the thoughts that creep into our sleep, this is beautifully written my friend, and a topical entry in this contest, free verse is a great choice, well done, blessings, Roy

A unique poem and format. Excellent artwork and presentation to add to the message.
Sounds like you're an insomniac like me. Many night sounds that keep me awake.

Well done and good luck in the contest.
Blessings
Janet

In my opinion, a dramatically striking piece, reminiscent of all nightmares that invade our nights and steal our sleep. This description is smoothly fluid in its free verse render and in perfect compliance with the prompt. Best wishes in the contest...

I found the author's words interesting, annoying, clear, descriptive and
creative. I pondered on the sounds of night here on the lake where I live -
it is quiet. I identified with the frustration of the Night Hawk. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork goes well with this poem.

This is an excellent poem for the contest
with very good description and imagery,
shades of Poe and his famous raven.
Good choice of picture to accompany your words.
Well done.
Best wishes.

A lesson taught should be a lesson learned, and today I find a nighthawk is a person who roams all night, as well as being a daw, a bird. Very cleverly done. You should do well in the contest.

I have a fear of water. Just the dripping sound. Pipes bursting or water getting into my house. Weird but I felt your fear. Maybe it's the actual fear and vulnerability of sleep and nighttime you fear. Whatever, you expressed the nagging fear wonderfully. Might I suggest you don't read Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven before bed. Lol. Well done.

I love the metaphor of the Nighthawk here. I also really liked the line about pecking at your temporal lobes. It really made the Nighthawk an entity in its own right. I love the tone of this. A bit dark and dramatic. I dig it!
