There was nothing ugly about her
Feathers glistening, meant to stun
A tuft of white, hidden beneath her
Nature’s Beauty, cannot be undone
Gliding, gracefully, in waters green
She shines, with the morning sun
Ebony gleams, in the light of day
As a swan, she is second to none

Write a poem, you must… (courtesy of Alyssa)
“Do. Or do not. There is no try”
Why do you speak like this?
Understanding, trouble I’m having
I think something is amiss
I never understood your ways
Even Luke had quite a time
This misuse of the language
Should most certainly be a crime
I suppose you’re much too old now
To be corrected in your speech
So continue on, we’ll let you go
But these lines, we must unteach
So others do not this mistake make
Speak logically, this they must
Or Webster, a fight there will be
For he surely will combust

Space, the lines on the paper
These are the scribbles of the Night Owl Poet
Her never-ending mission
To explore strange new words
To seek out new verse
And new split-infinitives
To boldly go where no poet has gone before
(Cue bizarre sounding music)
I fly through words, origins unknown
As I wander around my place
I’ve tried to use them all, you see
But they clutter up my space
Tossing papers, crumpled wads
Leaving poems, quite unfinished
I’d rather watch the stars go by
As my thoughts have now diminished
I need to leave this planet, Earth
Find a home, where I can survive
Then I can write, about the night
I landed, on Ceti Alpha Five!
April Writing Prompt: This…is Ceti Alpha Five – Day 22/30

Under radiant light, once again, reborn
A whispering breeze across the vibrant sky
She awakens with the gentle call of morn.
Life on Earth heaves a gentle sigh
For she is the mountain that reigns above
And the lands found down below
Delicate beauty, who bestows with love
As she watches her mighty Earth grow

I lurk in the shadows
That block out the sun
Long for the hours
When daylight is done
Dwell in the darkness
Tis where I’m content
Hidden, unnoticed
Is how my life’s spent
I am one with the creatures
Who stir in the night
Awaiting the sunset
To silence the light
