Midnight and the Poetess

In the pitch black darkness of the night, Not one idea, no, not even one in sight. And who am I then, out to impress? Such cold, needless and useless stress.. Lost in pages of an unfeeling thesaurus? At midnight, is but a dank lonely forest. No, I am not here, the world to impress, Then, why hot tears on my nightdress? Why pen poetry about birds and spring? Because, the glory of mankind is my thing! 2/12/2023 Note.: Blues Poems are one of the most popular forms of American poetry,with African-American roots. It takes on darker themes such as loss, struggle, sex or despair.. While seeminingly negative, blues talks about overcoming struggles with a strong mind and spirit!

Thanks, Andrea, hoping to be yet more versatile this year.. There are 100 types of poetry. With a history and international background. Hug your sweet dog for me. Panagiota

Very beautifully brought out the angst of not being able to write and then finding purpose, Pangie:)

I see you can relate to this. I do write plenty of positive poetry. But the world or my feelings are like the weather. AND There is a foundation, sure.but I am not a nymph floating buoyantly in a bubble. Life is so multidimensional. There is room for many views here. Panagiota

"Lost in pages of an unfeeling thesaurus? At midnight, is but a dank lonely forest." Very nice imagery and use of language. Well done! Lots to ponder.

Hi Pangie; sad how false and manipulated the News Media has become. All the questioning on the Balloons yet I have not heard the obvious one: HOW DOES allowing these things to enter our air-space, waiting to shoot them down inside our airspace, especially waiting till they are over land protect us from a BIOLOGICAL pay-load (weapon)? It is so MORONIC!!!!!! These things need to be shot down before they get anywhere near a sovereign nation. Period! If we are in their trajectory...TAKE THEM OUT!

Prince, I did not forget you. Something came up at home. You and I would have laughed heartily at the moronic spin on the balloons? Morons and Biden. Americans who believe their hogwash! NUTJOBS. I have never seen a more incompetent Liar in Chief, We all deserve Better, no matter what pary. We, the people. are disrespected, made fools of and ripped off financially.oAn honest election? Not now. Beeelezubub will end the USA and replace it with the CCP. Thank yoy for. The laudacios comment on the pioem. Truly appreciated. Panagiota

I love this poem,. Flows very nicely, and I do relate to those blues : ). Blessed are those with a strong mind and spirit to overcome The deception and wickedness around us, tell of those birds and spring time , to remind all of the joy, love,and peace to be seen: ). If we look around

Indeed, I have been on the other side, only through God found my way out of it, I was caught up in this world as bad as any, now even the division in Christians leaves me in awe, only through Christ spirit is all the wickedness and deception revealed

Dearest Stephan, I love creatures, foliage and the universe. But..human issues must be addressed by me, anyway and others as well. There’s plenty of false pride walking these halls. I would like to see more gratitude. Horrid jokes about Christians,Jews or Israel belong on Facebook,if at all.We are to a supposed poetic “ community.”. Sometimes, I cannot be here, the hatred is that obvious.free speech? Not for Christians or Conservatives? You will be avoided. Gee. Panagiota

Elena, It is refreshing as a cool pool on a hot day to pen this. And, it expresses who I am succintelly! Life is not all beauty, roses and butterflies. I write in the language I use daily. So did ee Cummings, and many others. Shakespeare wrote for his times. He got his message across. Can’t wait to try more forms. Not listed at PS. There are so many forms I wish to try out, woo hoo.
