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

For Me ~ #poetry

#poetry, created, dorindaduclos.com, for me, length, Lines, Night Owl Poetry, poems, verse, writing


There is no length, for which I write

I stop when everything feels right

It may only be a verse, of three small lines

Or perhaps I will stretch it, to seven or nine

But when the words fall into place, you see

The poem I’ve created, is really for me

A Vow ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry

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  ❤

Poet’s Log: Star Date 2018 ~ #AprilWriting

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

Static ~ #freeverse #TheDailyPost

Unspoken words

Rubbed against pages

In our minds, caught

In a void of noise, reaching

Out of bounds, trying

To find the release

Of electrifying verse
