as dusk walks away
and night trips
falling into
dark corners
and empty beds
my thoughts
bounce
like a

ball
ricocheting
against the
precarious parts
of my psyche
destroying order
until day decides to break
rescuing me from interior anarchy

*This is an example of concrete poetry.  Concrete poetry, pattern poetry or shape poetry is poetry in which the typographical arrangement of words is as important in conveying the intended effect as the conventional elements of the poem, such as meaning of words, rhythm, rhyme and so on. It is sometimes referred to as visual poetry, a term that has evolved to have distinct meaning of its own.  My poem, 'Insomnia', is supposed to look like an hourglass.
