Nailed it! In the most poetic way. Always so nice to read poets, that have something really meaningful to say.5 full bright light poetic stars.
An amazing write! The stillness of night gives us the space to contemplate, moonlight and stars give inspiration to spill our thoughts on paper.
I agree with you completely. I write most of my poems in the silence of night. The whole of the night. When stars are shining brightly. It is the time for the birth of a poem. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank YOU, Mr. Bryan Norton! : -) Your comment means a lot to me. The longer a person is on this site, he begins to notice that all poets share some similarity in the way their brains are wired! : -)
What an insightful poem. Loved it and it's so true. Oftentimes I'm in bed for the evening and a line of poetry comes to mind and I have to jump up to write it down. Your poem trumpets what many poets experience. Great job.
Thanks again, Tamara, for such a spot-on comment! It's reassuring to know that all poets experience similar things! : -)
Wonderful poem! So true and beautifully written, in all places it hits right home especially " Where quiet is found." Thank you Poetess for writing and sharing this timeless gem.10+++ and added to my enchanting poems treasure chest. Take care.
Wow, Shaun! Thank you so much for your highly complimentary comments! : -) Regards
There must be something In the moon's soft glow That causes our Creative juices to flow. the moon and the stars and our efforts and inborn poetic tendencies.. a very fine poem. tony
A magnificent piece of work... sparkling expression that directly touches my heart!
Thank you, Dr. Swain! Glad to play a part in something that touches your heart!
I tend to find my best inspiration at night, when everything calms down and my mind finds its quiet place. We usually find what works best for us, and we go with the flow. Great write, very easy to relate to.
Thank you so much, Richard. Always glad to hear from those whose poetry I also enjoy! : -)
In total agreement with you, dear poetess! I can't wait for night to come, so that I can start writing. And what inspiration one receives from the moon and stars in Northern Ontario! No wonder so many Americans are buying up the land there.
Canada is lovely- - the scenery; the clear skies. I have yet to visit (only seen photos!) , but I have a relative who goes every chance she can get! Thank you for commenting, Richard!
Night time is the best time to be with the self, A Thoughtful poem with great observation...10+++
Thank you, Mohammed, for reading & rating! The system wouldn't allow me to send you a comment yesterday, but today it 'took'! : -)
I totally relate to this. I do a lot of writing at night. Like at 1 to 3 am. The words are so true.
Thanks for your observation. I wonder if it's the mode that the brain is in, at that time- - With me, it's all the shift work I've done, so I'm usually in 'night owl' mode, anyhow! Be blessed!
I find that I can write better at night. It is quieter and the stars and moon can inspire you. Very truthful writing.
I think that, at night, you are more relaxed, and that makes it easier for creativity to surface. Stress can choke off creativity and stifle it. Although an inspiration can hit most anytime!
Loved every line! Extremely well written! Morning can produce some good groggy poetry I would imagine.
Actually, O Captain my Captain, some of my best inspirations are already there upon awakening. My 'Mad sock-eating society' was one of those. Freshly out of bed, no breakfast even yet, and that poem poured itself out on paper. So ARRRGH, ye Buccaneer! :) Thanks for the comment!
the poets come out at night when their minds take to flight, rising above themselves where they hear no one else their minds become like the moon stationery in thought, yet bright as can be that's what a poet is to me.
flowing creative juice, silence, joys, soft glow, inspiration, poetic creativity, hear your thoughts Where quiet is found........ very fine creativity and thoughts about creativity.. thank u dear poetess. tony
Starry starry night! Excellent poem!
