There comes the time when we should sleep when climbs the rhyme up from the deep Not when we choose to have our muse disburse some verse

Ride Captain Ride
I dreamt of lies
laughing away
cryptic replies
pointed my way
A mystery
was shipped to me
while sleep reigned deep

Bouncing Around
There comes a time
to go to bed
when there’s a rhyme
stuck in my head
that feels it must
be free, though just
somehow not now

Thanks to Susi Bocks at I Write Her for pointing out today, 21 March, is World Poetry Day in her “Celebrate Your Passion” post! I didn’t realize that when I posted my poem above. Why not take the time today to discover new poets, read poetry you love, or write something just because!
