I should really
be in bed
but sleep escapes
and I’m awake instead
Too many words
that need to flow
I remember when
they told me so
If you start writing verse
in every way
it’s all that you’ll do
from dusk til day
For it’s in the wee hours
of the night, I seize
as I let my fingers
stroke the keys
With a clacking noise
in the quiet night
the sound of poetry
at last, I write
Releasing words
of this, I vow
til morning wakes
tis my bedtime now
It’s hard to believe it’s the end of April and another #NaPoWriMo has come to an end. I’ve enjoyed writing a poem a day for 30 days. I hope you enjoyed reading them ❤

I totally know that feeling of “Too many words that need to flow…” I have so been there some nights and stayed up until almost four in the morning, typing like crazy. 😦
On a side note, I nominated you for the 3 days, 3 quotes, 3 tags challenge. You don’t have to accept it if you don’t want to do it. It’s totally up to you. 🙂
