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.

Starless Sky

In a starless sky lays my one and only

Skin white but alive

Dead to the eyes but not to mine

Forever asleep in a box of vines


In a starless sky lays my one and only

Tired of living she was

Choosing to reside in the sky

Seated by thunder and lightning

She did


In a starless sky lays my one and only

Memories of us dead and buried

Empty like the night sky

Laughter racing away with the wind


In a starless sky lays my one and only

Sadness was hers

She didn't belong here

It would become her downfall


In a starless sky lays my one and only

A night darker than dark

Into the woods, she went

Life was just too hard


In a starless sky lays my one and only.

Death is after all of us

But my dear’s lungs ached

So she stopped


Like a hero she faced death

Did what us cowards wouldn't do

Only to turn up white and cold

Like ice in a mold


Another taken away by the woods

And sent into a starless sky

Where they all remain


Maybe the woods will take me too

Then I shall join you

And escape the nights that never brought the day...


In a starless sky.
