Theresa Johnston Poet Rhyme

Night-Time One-Girl Show

Alone by myself in the dark of night
Here I find solace, there is no light

I think, reflect, grow, ignite
When most sleep, eyes closed tight

Active, wild, creative is my soul
Contrasting shadows dim I so well know

Awareness heightened only by the sound
Of the hush of the dark, my thoughts abound

It appeals to me more than you know
Because it’s my night-time
One-Girl Show

Robert Johnson June 26, 2012 at 10:52 AM Get to work Girl. You've got some catching up to do. You leave us wanting more from a poet such as you. I so relate as I'm sure so many do. To wake up in the darkness and see a brand new view.

Jslambert Mister Roboto January 7, 2012 at 1:02 PM I can relate to the night-time creativity Theresa. Night is when my soul seems to wake up!

Jacque Graham January 4, 2012 at 1:48 PM Well written, I really enjoyed your poem and how it makes night and the darkness (often portrayed as frightening and evil) a positive image inspires positive thoughts. Theresa Johnston January 6, 2012 at 10:47 AM Wow Jacque... Thank you so much for your positive comments; your insight and understanding of this poem encourage me!
