My Name Poem by Tentative Poet

My Name



my true name is latebloomer:

i never strike when the iron's hot
or catch the early worms
i doze when opportunity knocks
on my door

i only stir when the moon is high
then my eyes burn with joy
and a wild energy

when the night cruises free
i pull cobwebs off my mind
and awaken to
myriad opportunities
