ending is.. unsatisfying. Factoid. Ew.
 — Cloudless

hey cloudless,
obviously it doesnt fit. thats the theme of the poem--the person has become sleepless, a trait that is not fit to their personality.

constructive criticism always welcome. but you have to make some suggestions for it to be constructive.

i liked the ending
 — unknown

i think you could make this shorter around 3-9, by tightening your phrasing. i like the end too.
 — bettalpha

okay. i agree with you about making it shorter. i thought about it and took another cut. hows that read?
 — Xiada

Sorry, I suppose ew was offensive, its just what I thought. Maybe if you put it on a sperate line

and if i can't find that,
at least some

it would show the uncertainty of the word, the sleepless groping.. at least that's what I think you're trying to tell me. And at least that's what I think might help.  And I think I like the cuts.
 — Cloudless

thanks for the suggestion cloudless.

also, i changed the title to further trim down some wording. what thinks you?
 — Xiada

I like it just as is. There's something oddly satisfying about "factoid" in this context. I'll be back to read your other stuff.

nice.  

i can relate..perhaps a bit too much, to this one.
