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.

Why Are The Nights White?

Cold and dark

How it always is

Yet in the corner of my eye is a star

Alone and pining

Sitting, crying

And yet she shines so far.


I sit by her,

And ask what’s wrong

She tells me about her favorite song

How it broke apart and left her

How I wish I never met her.


She goes away a final time

Dancing in the dark

I look up, the glow has ended.

Yet another day for a broken heart....

Night

A nice calm bath to clear my head

The warm feeling of my bed

I love the night

The feeling of warmth at night

As my mind takes flight

In a calming phase

A deep sleep

A calming way to recharge my energy

Reflecting on my day

Constantly watching what makes me happy

The dazzling lights of beautiful stars

Deep in the night

I feel delight in sleep

Relaxing allows me to unwind

Nights make me feel l...

A Twinkle

A slight twinkle in the eyes of one,

There lies a light reflecting off of the moon.

Laid out flat across the surface of Earth,

An adolescent girl experiences this every night for fun.


The imagines seen along the night sky just from rays of light,

Stars go on for miles and miles,

Couldn’t count all of them without running out of numbers,

Turned regular days into dreamy nights.


A girl grows up ...

Lamp Post Leaner

Not all are wired to appreciate a moonless night.

A cold ,haunting darkness that devours the world.

Poor souls wandering the twilight, drunk on the day before.

Stumbling from lamp post to lamp post.

As clueless and lost as the moths circling above.

You take a piss, bathed in the street light.

It splashes on your shoes.

Just a few more blocks, then you can rest.

Smiling as you daydream of the dream...

Crescent Moon Sky

The crescent moon shines on down in the night

It’s a pretty sight to see the bright yellow - white

You and me together, we could chill, you make me feel mellow, let’s watch the sky

Oh, I will get lost in the constellations of your eyes

Oh, alright, I’ll get back on track

The night looks beautiful with moon white and black

Maybe dark blue? I’m not entirely sure of what to call the hue

I hav...

Chasing

Walking the streets that are full of rotting teeth

Hearing whistles in the wind as I wander

Stars blink at me, while my eyes start to bleed

The night sky screams my beliefs, ordering liquor and tobacco

Crawling through the dark, praying I won’t lose my spark

Chopping off my charcoal hair, every time I sit and stare

Til the street lights start to hollow...

The Fantasized Runaway

The moons shines down on my pale face

It gives me joy, It give me space

It tells me to reflect on everything I've done

It tells me to fly to where I was once shone


I refuse to go where I once ran

Away and away from my home land

I stay with the moon, my true family

If only it were real, if only I could escape this monstrosity...

The Midnight Orchestra

In my backyard

The crickets chirp -

Keek keek

Keek keek keek

Keek keek keek keek


semitrucks hummmmmmmmm in a soft slow

Hummmmmmmmmm

and long distance travelers cruise through the valley along the concrete highway, desperate to reach their destination safely


around the mountains, around


The road it curves around the mountain


the collective groan of metal and en...

look around you

running under the street lights

a spiked drink in my left hand

cigarette in the other one


heart speeding and smile widening

lost friends looking for me

as I let myself free


dangerous eyes around me

permanent hands on my body

a destroyed temple

I just don’t care

hurts less to do so


drink my way up to heaven

as I take the stairs down

I’m not scared

I’ve already met the devil


it’s not a demon w...

Whispers Beneath the Moon

The night is not just velvet skies,

Or stars that flicker soft goodbyes.

It breathes in ways the day forgets—

With shadows crawling in quiet threats.


The trees don’t sleep, they lean and leer,

Their branches bent to catch what’s near.

An owl blinks once, then disappears,

While silence hums with ancient fears.


The wind speaks names it shouldn’t know,

In voices cold, and low, and slow.

And somewhe...
