Why must I write at this hour? While other mortals sleep? When all is quiet I will arise and to my computer will creep. So full is my soul of words unspoken of feelings I must share. I rise again, in the dead of night and begin my poet’s prayer. Deliver me from pedantry, from silly limerick ways. Give me depth and heart and love and sometimes, give me praise. |

"been there, done that" It's the only time there is real peace and quiet for me to write, so I do know what you mean. Lovely words here. "So full is my soul of words unspoken"! Magnificent! Thank you, Ellie 02 |

This is great, Sharon! I'd love to be up in those wee small hours again, bursting with inspiration. Those were the days! I wasn't even really tired in the morning either though I didn't get much sleep! Well, maybe again, some day! Denise |

PdV, I've been there..but have never written anything in homage to the dismal dank time when the world sleep, but the mind runs. Wonderful job of putting every poet's feeling so succinctly on paper, and the web. E pluribus poeticus unum Alicat |

Hi Poet deVine, This is so lovely and so true, I get these urges to write in the middle of the night, but most of the time I find myself scrambling for a peice of paper hoping I don't for get the little didy that will not let me sleep. Thank you for sharing this, Cerenity |

Exellent, Ms. deVine! I am also one of those up in the middle of the night, pouring her soul out into verse..I'm sure many of us can relate. Wonderful work. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

I have a bed and lay upon it Dreaming of a little sonnet Or sestina or some ode To come in my sweet abode. Pentameter dances in my head Villanelles invade my bed I gotta get to sleep sometime But I am overcome with rhyme. |
