Night owl blues ( 100 Day of Poetry9 [Day #39]

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)


Awakened as night creeps,
replenished from the realm.
The dreams linger but forgotten.
The feeling of regret,
not spending more time with the family,
not making more of the day, drained from the night.
Retrospective thoughts of another swallowed sun.

The screen gawks as I type on another,
could this all be in vain or a training of the brain?
Scattered focus yields scattered gains,
but one basket cannot.
Multiple hooks waiting for a bite.
Multiple claws, one prey in sight.
Pivoting to a bigger hook,
as the tide seeks sand.

So much to learn as time creeps up
his Colombian necktie and medusa sunshades,
fitting, as he pets his cat called age.
Stoned stuck in a moment,
I jump out of the the trance.
Leap back into the feild.
The hunt continues.

This is my favorite poem that you've written thus far. I feel like it has a lot of your heart and soul in it.

Thanks man. You are actually right, a lot of my heart and soul went into this. As I woke around 5 in the evening after taking a nap the words just poured out.
