Bestowed ~ #poetry #NaPoWriMo

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!

Lay me down upon this stream
Where water glistens sweetly
Let me visualize this dream
That fills me so completely

Lanterns illuminate the night
Hidden shadows fill the mist
Shining with the pale moon light
Enrapture me in eternal bliss

Adorn the forest’s pure mystique
With nature’s splendid worth
No longer do I need to seek
I’ve found my Heaven on Earth

Jupiter decided to take over Earth
A much larger planet was he
So he jumped over Mars
Left behind many stars
Claiming this would be Earth’s apogee

Earth just smiled, as she waited
Tempted Jupiter to take his shot
Sent him off, quite impaired
Turned around and declared
It would seem that size matters not!
