Now He’s Really Lost It

Accidental Poet

 

Uh-oh, looks like I’m writing again

God knows it’s only 3:00 AM

 

I should be sleeping

But no, my fingers are typing

 

What might my keyboard have to say this time?

No doubt, some sort of rhyme

 

Could it be inspirations so lyrical?

Or just gibberish in senseless circles

 

Why, I ought to be in bed

But from where I don’t know come these words instead

 

I know what you must be thinking

“Now he’s really lost it,” but look again, my eye is winking

 

I’m just an innocent spontaneous writing fool

Lyrical phrases attack me from a hyperactive word pool

 

Quite often in the middle of the night

Maybe I can blame the moon and starlight?

 

Most certainly, I need my sleep

Snoozing away where I don’t utter a peep

 

But then, in slumber what words lurk?

Waiting their chance to escape the murk

 

I could go down to the beach

Out to the ocean, my hand to reach

 

For soon surely the sun will rise

Casting crimson colors across sparsely clouded skies

 

And then, again here I’d sit

Writing of emotions spawned from it

 

Well, look ye here

Of the past hour, I’ve a souvenir

 

Add another to the list

Composed words my fingers could’nt resist

 

Smile for me if you will

For that I might even put ink to quill

 

To share jumbled thoughts

Of this, that and what not

 

Nostalgic ramblings of a middle aged baby boomer

Or nocturnal wanderings of a starlight bloomer

 

I guess for now, nothing more to say

Other than I wish you all a very, very nice day

    Nostalgic ramblings of a middle aged baby boomer

    Or nocturnal wanderings of a starlight bloomer

        Actually, by years I am past the middle aged part, but in my mind I am not even there yet.

        Good write, it is amazing how words can come so spontaneously at these strange times of the day or night.

        • Accidental Poet

          Yes, and if I don't write it down immediately I'll never remember it. Thanks for reading Goldfinch.

          I can join the club. Sometimes I can not sleep early and write or read or watch a movie. Never sleep before 11:00 pm. Very nice writing here. If you keep skipping sleep it is good because you come up with good writing.

          • Accidental Poet

            Yes you can join the club. But if I avoid sleep for too long my inner muse goes to bed without me, then all I can do is mumble useless noises. Thanks for reading. ; )

              Holly smoke. You are the true early bird for today! 3AM. Even a alarm won't wake me at that time.
              "Smile for me if you will"
              I will, but I would like you to take a rest too.
              Thank you preparing such a luxurious breakfast for us. I really appreciate it.

              • Accidental Poet

                Breakfast is at 5AM. Be there or go hungry. LOL. ; )

                • myself and me

                  Thank you. I won't be late.
