When the Moon Explodes ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

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!

I couldn’t decide, what to put on my toast

So I grabbed all the jellies, the ones I like most

I layered the jams, into colorful lines

On top of some cream cheese, oh, so divine!

I truly wanted, to add another flavor

But, I ran out of space, so this, I will savor

Bite after bite, the taste is so sweet

Think I’ll make another, I deserve this treat

In the unlikely event, we collide

Pay attention, we’re the ones qualified

As a flight crew, we’re trained for the worst

Remember, woman and children go first

Seats and trays, in the upright position

As we embark, on the next lengthy mission

Should turbulence rock this ship

It’s quite possibly, your very last trip

We suggest, if you want to stay alive

Grab a parachute and out the door, dive

Pray very hard, for a nice easy landing

Enjoy the flight, we hope it’s outstanding

Something was missing inside this house
Sometimes noisy, it was quiet as a mouse

Perhaps they had left, gone out to play
Maybe they waited for, yet, another day

Still, the silence droned loudly in the tiny room
No one at the table, nor granny with her broom

Everything is tidy, but no one comes to see
This is where you’d always find, one big family

But times have changed, the kids all grown
Granny’s gone to a different home

The house lays still, collecting dust
The fireplace andirons, have started to rust

Where once, pure laughter filled the air
There’s no one home, there’s no one there

They’ve all gone away, and found their own place
Once a house full of love, is now one empty place

The Daily Post: Typical
