Nocturnal Inspiration

As promised in my previous post, instead of writing an expository style rambling this month, I’ve composed a poem pertaining to my life as a writer. Today’s theme is inspiration! To honor this theme, I’ve written a poem all about my two biggest muses: nighttime and nature!

 

Nocturnal Inspiration

The air is crisp.
The sky is dark.
The moon is high.
I listen. Hark!
I hear a possum
in a tree.
She whispers,
“Write a book for me . . .”
