The Sleepless Midnight
A Haunting in Three Lines
Ravens stir the dusk,
echoes crawl through coffin wood,
midnight will not sleep.

Personal Space
For some reason, it seems to be unpopular to have the opinion of wanting personal space. I do very much miss the days when it was illegal to come within 6 feet of anyone else and I would like the earth to go back to that because what the hell is everyone on nowadays?

Great depiction of the unsleeping midnight. Congratulations on your win Tim
Stunning work Tim! 💪🏾🎉
Well-wrought!
I wanted to write that it sounds like something Poe would write, if he'd ever written a haiku, but Margaret was faster in saying that. haha
I especially loved the second line!
Creepy! I didn’t realize you were a visual artist too that’s rad! How long did it take to paint that?
Awesome; sounds like something Poe would write.
