Notes About The Poem

Image result for images of poets writing at night

Let's Rhyme

As night grows short, yet moon and stars are still aglow, some sleep with dreams which to the world they’ll never show, and others sleep with dreams that cover up great woe. But there are some whose minds are dancing to-and-fro, who find that slumber is a thing they must forego. They rise from bed; then creeping down the hall they go where they can put their thoughts to verse because they know that fleeting are those thoughts which fall like flakes of snow across their minds. To capture them they must, and so, the shadow poets pour their hearts out! Even though they long for sleep, they let their dreams on paper flow!

Well-chosen topic, Andrea, and one which pictures your own experience I would guess. There are sleepless nights of restlessness and there are sleepness nights of busyness. The latter are well worth the yawns of tomorrow. Congratulations!

8th line - ends with snow - you didn't want to type the '.' I enjoyed your entry very much, the monorhymes truly rock and the contents speak to all of us! My 12x12 has a Virgo line inspired by you. Well done, Sweetie - good luck in the contest and all else ... CayCay
