introvert Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 That was a good poem! I enjoyed it though I'm late to respond. Here is one of mine. Once Late at Night In the deep hour of delight In the blackness I seen A wee bit of white. All over in the sky I found my eye Attentive on the glory of God I saw chapter nineteen And verse one Out of the book of Psalm. It was one starry world, The universe long, Long and long Like life is everlasting goes On, on and on. I saw God when I looked On a starry night I was hooked. Open your eyes into The light in the night, Keep your eyes awake children Use your hearts Look out at all the stars With your eyes leaping away. The stars have been spread Like what I have read Then may we be seen tonight, I'll see me in the starlight. 1

introvert Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Nice words! I noticed the spelling error in stanza three! Vissions should be visions. Usually I'm the one with all the punctuation and grammar issues, how dare you lol.
introvert Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 This one of mine is about madness written with a whimsical touch. THE DREAM I ONCE HAD O ‘twas a Starry and Nightly Sight Boo or grr or ha or ah ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! La, la, la, la, la! Da, da, da, da, da! And ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!” Then once more. Boo or grr or ha or ah ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! La, la, la, la, la! Da, da, da, da, da! And ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Then ta da! Tick tock, tick tock… O ‘twas a starry and Nightly sight. O ‘twas a Man like a Clock O Fool! Fool! Fool! I will ridicule a fool! Fool! Fool! Fool! It’s you who Broke this bloke. My glass is cracked, My numbers Not so black, And my hands Won’t go back! They spin all Around in craze, I’m madder with age, Crazier than a Thousandth page! Cobweb on my face And a spider’s long legs! Fool! Fool! Fool! I will ridicule a fool! Fool! Fool! Fool! What goes ding, What goes dong, What goes Ding and dong The hour strikes Twelve in the light! Yet it’s night! What goes ah ha! Now goes blah! Who goes nah! I’m not at awe! FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! I‘ve been Here nevermore And it will be evermore. FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! I will remind I’m a grandfather clock Who has lived his life With a topper hat Flaming at the top As smoke gets hazy. I have a rustic grain And all the Grandmother clocks Stop and look, Now I am amazing! A big fat crack In the glass! How mad! You must Have been lazy! How sad! FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! I’m berserk, Read the time again! You mistook! FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! Now I’m mad as time! All the time Going around! I say to myself! FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! I will ridicule a fool! FOOL! FOOL! FOOL! O ‘twas a Golden Pocket Watch Once upon a time In the night In a dreamy state There was, “Listen well! Listen well! Listen well! A golden pocket watch Repeated over and over Like a heart. Listen well! Listen well! Listen well! And listen well! You have been ornery I have a better story. At the tingle of It is mad, mad, mad, Mad, mad, mad. Go to sleep my friend Nonsense is a godsend. Listen well! Listen well! Listen well, Well, well, well, well, well. My honest madness Forever pans, Pans, pans, Pans, pans, pans! Once upon a time In the night In a dreamy state There was, A tick tock and tick! It was the sound of a Golden watch! Tick tock, Tick tock and tick! Listen well! Listen well! Listen well, well, Well, well, well, well! My honest madness Forever pans, Pans, pans, Pans, pans, pans! “My name is Tick and Tock As it is written On my face!” All you can ever hear! Once upon a time In the night In a dreamy state There was, A tick tock and tick! It was the sound of a Golden watch! The time stopped And unheard, Reappeared. 1
