Looking, not for gloom
I must seek the rising sun
Casting eyes upward
Knowing, I will find the light;
Warm comfort in these dark times

In the dead of night,
When moonlight shines
My lantern captures,
That which is mine.
Awakening graveyard,
The spirits do beckon
Calling out to me,
At least, what I reckon;
Is their immortal way
Of conveying their wishes
And I am never,
At all, suspicious.
For this is the time
Of the year I bloom
Though others may see
A most certain gloom
Autumnal equinox
My treasure, my Fall
The time in my life,
When the spirits enthrall

Midnight
Darkest hour
No light
Day gone
Fades into black
Moves on
Moon shows
Chases the gloom
And glows
Author’s Note: The Musette, created by Emily Romano is a poem that consists of three verses of three lines each. The first lines have two syllables; the second lines have four syllables, and the third lines have two syllables. The rhyme scheme is a/b/a for the first verse; c/d/c for the second verse, and e/f/e for the third verse. The title should reflect the poem’s content.

Late hours, rain pouring outside my window
Passing showers, thunder clamoring, and I know
It’s the time, when I find the words so easily
When they rhyme, thoughts coming on, so peacefully
What is it, about the sounds of nature’s wrath?
Why do I sit, instead of seeking out its path?
To wander about, feel the water on my face
I have no doubt, I’d get lost in such a place
Instead I’m here, listening instead of being
How I wish to disappear, the power surely freeing
To get lost, in a world outside this room
At any cost, to do away with all this gloom
But here I stay, my fingers speak of what I see
In every way, I shall remember, this is me

Night settles over, like a vaporous gloom
Envelopes my soul, in a darkening tomb
Looking ahead, I seek out the light
The only one promising, to bring me through night
Skies part the way, not a moment too soon
All at once I am swallowed, by a heavenly moon
As day comes to an end, and the sun bids adieu
The eventide wraps me, in its ebony hue
