Poetry dump

So here's more poetry  I wrote over the past few days - I hope you guys aren't sick of my poems( I promise my next post will be a story excerpt, not more poetry!) Some of these poems use techniques/ are based on prompts from this really great course I'm attending at coursera.org.

This poem I wrote in early August, I think:

Priority

I am tired
my eyelids are drooping with sleep
and my brain refuses to cooperate
with me, any longer
every ounce of me demands bedtime

Yet still, there are so many things to
think about,
so many poems to write,
so many paintings to paint,
and so many stories to tell

That going to bed
no longer seems
a priority,
anymore!

The ice of time

Time,
an ice block;
melting away - getting
smaller and
smaller
each passing second;
ruthlessly, unceasingly,
unstoppingly,
Gone.

Dreams

Shining, glistening, lighting up

the dark. Inspiring

yet distant, as far away as 

the stars

Constellations that 

show the way, Guiding all those 

gone astray,

like stars

I can't afford to buy the spaceship

but I can still afford to watch as they

light up my sky;

like stars
