Midnight Poet

Writing in pitch-dark pitchy begin 
Upon the stroke of silent pen 
Touches my words across the night sky 
Where me inner self meets a spirited lullaby

Silent space is a lonely place
Where altar sits in poet grace
Night sweats; pearls of sweet verse hone
As I cradle and nurture in golly forest home

An owl calls goodnight hoot
The vista of darky shadows across the woods salute
While scribbling lyrical in darkness peep
Poetic drift, rush past, looking deep 

Writer man licked in night-time dew
Shedding sleep dust to the dusky view
To sound of rhymes, the scripter re-awaketh
The wellspring of motivation for the Midnight Poet

A charming (midnight) reflection on the poetic process. Enjoyed. JH
