POEM STARTER

Mysteries of the Night

Whether something natural and beautiful like the stars, or something more sinister, write a poem that focuses on things that are most prominent at night.

weight of night

the whispers of darkness

consume

only the cracks beneath

the fissures of untempered glass


deception pools

creating pressures

into the corners


the floor, bed, and walls

now

covered in shards, blood, and worms


the image of life,

even if for tonight,

lays barren on the pillowcase -

it’s traces fading with the dawn.
