I have decided to join in for the daunting task of writing 30 poems in 30 days.
I am using prompts from www.napowrimo.net and have completed my first poem.
I've used the opening line from Maya Angelou's poem, "Insomniac".
There are some nights when
The pitch is deeper, darker, terrifying
The air is crushing, silent, desiccating
Pearls and diamonds of sweat create a sheen upon my brow, and breast- rivulets of panic streaming from my pores
Shivering
Anxiety, Panic
The abyss of night has forced me to leap into the sky
That is also too vast and I'm scared
The night knows how to keep me awake
