Hello Mr E, what a lovely review you have left for me and a compliment thrown in too for added measure :) Hope you are finding sleep easier than I am at this moment. Thank you for your welcome visit.

rarely sleep past 3 am meself .. but i go to bed early ... before 8-9 usually ... such a bore i am afraid ;}

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Aye there is an equation for this Einstein! Early to bed early to rise! lol

[Chris Shaw]

In bed by 11.00, awake at 2.30. That's the cycle I find myself in:)) You could never be considered boring Mr E.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

The sleep of the just required may I suggest!

You've obviously mastered brevity, too. Such a soft welcome to sleep. Another creative work, Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks Robert for checking this senryu out. Most appreciated.

so simple and short. This picture I have in my mind is beautiful. Great metaphor!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Shoshana for your lovely review.

[CD Campbell]

It's a nice picture you paint. I could put this in an album and use it as an example of how something so small can cast such large shadow. I enjoyed it.

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks CD. Pleased you enjoyed this senryu.

[Dave Brown]

I could use a bit of that sleep magic

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Dave. I certainly need something to help me sleep :)

Chris

[Pryde Foltz]

Yes ... the mood and metaphor done so well. Great work:)

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks Pryde, I appreciate your thoughts.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed a reasonable aspiration to get a good night sleep unless one is awake writing senryu that is Chris! 'Productive Insomnia' I'd diagnose.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you John for checking this senryu out.
