Oh dear, everything seems gloomy!

Please don’t get the idea that I am depressed. I left with a poem about the weather conveying emotions; started today with a gloomy haiku; and then continued with another gloomy poem. The next one is less dark but not quite optimistic yet. I am exhausted from travelling but unable to sleep, so I’m a bit fuzzy this morning.

Chasing Poems

Poems inhabit my world,

Hiding in shadows,

Creeping in corners,

Under my bed

Where they keep me awake

Disturbing the darkness.

Multicoloured rainbows,

Infused with ideas,

Slip through my fingers –

I’m slurred with sleep,

Too slow to stuff them

In my pocket,

Trap them

In my memory,

Infuse them

In the ink of my pen;

Write them.
