A Poem by paul

the night at nighttime
sings songs the day would
never understand

the poet runs out of words
like a fish 
on land

little human lights try
and fail

lonely little clouds don't last

. let this poet be submerged in water ... in waves of words that cause ripples ... let lands not last ... let songs be understood ... let lonely little clouds float by ... in a clear blue sky ... let human lights not fail ... let words never be pale ... let poetry be ... let the poet smile ... let words whisper ... along the nile ...

the scattered emotion in the piece made sense with the last line coming up! it made a disturbed but a good read, my friend...

keep writing and sharing! :)

Poets do always run out of words :p..
and as the clouds nothing ever lasts..

I like how you bring the emotion in this poem down , the first stanza an alliterative gem

you know what's strange? i've read this poem a few times already, and it happens again and again: the word "little" remains glued to my memory. it spices this text with sorrow, and need for caring, and a bit of teasing, and a lot of things. at least this is what it makes me feel like. :)

intricate patterns of thought like fireflies teasing just out of reach of vision~ subtle~ beautifully so~
