J. Tudor Poet Free verse

Sometimes the Sky

sometimes the sky
will tear open at night

and stars will just pour
out like rain

I am full of holes now
from their searing plunge

I was never smart enough
to step out of their way

or hide beneath a tree 
or simply go back inside 

and close my window
to the stellar pain

I am older now and you’d 
think I would have learned

or am i like you
infatuated with the night

and simply love the way
a star passes through

Timothy Hicks March 29, 2016 at 10:57 PM This was so captivating, J. I adore the intensity and the way your mind works ... tearing open holes into your being with the beauty of the stars. And your title was begging to be clicked because it is in an incomplete thought ... Sometimes The Sky ... well my friend, Sometimes Tudor will tear out a pen And ink will just pour out like rain (experiencing a lovely trickle currently, and awaiting further installments .... :) )

Daniel Carter February 22, 2016 at 8:35 PM I really respect people who can do free verse. I'm too much of a type A person, I need the structure and meter. I enjoyed the imagery, and was forced to think about the mistakes I never learn from. Thanks for sharing! J. Tudor February 22, 2016 at 8:49 PM Thank You Daniel. I do write a lot of metered rhyme and also find a great enjoyment in the structuring of a piece, it makes me feel more "grounded" in a manner of speaking. I appreciate your comment.
