I Write These Poems at Night
I write these poems at night
which means I'm tired
and not quite right
which means I'm tired
and not quite right
a gauntlet cast
I write these poems at night at last
they will not form accordingly
nor take on formal qualities
these poems are not quite right
nor take on formal qualities
these poems are not quite right
I hear a longing voice proclaim
to wrap the poems in cellophane
the ones I write at night
to wrap the poems in cellophane
the ones I write at night
the morning poems are not the same
but these failed half-baked delights
are poems I write at night
who knew I'd write a poem today
divine tips who can say
these poems are not quite right
the ones I write at night
