Poetry Writing Prompt: "In The Deep Of The Night"

Journal by MichaelDavidCrawford

If I can _only_ compose poetry when I'm Manic, surely there is a poet within me somewhere, struggling to come out.

I've found that it helps to just pull the first line out of my ass, with the rhyme and meter either determined by the next line or the line after my ass.

This evening I really _did_ compose a poem whose first line was "In the deep of the knight". Do yer worst; I'll post my own poem tomorrow evening. And-a One! And-A Two! And-A...

    In the deep of the knight
    Sir Lance Not a Lot did stir
    Never quite finishing off
    The trochee blank verse concurs
    For a meter up Crawfords' ass

    I just sat here staring at this for like five minutes trying to think of something.

    Nope.

    I tried though!

      In the deep of the knight
      Into my line of sight
      A poetic primate released
      Alas that Monkey hath deceased

    In the deep of the knight
    my sword plowed through
    a bloddy silver lightning
    crashing in that thunderous night

    damm it's hard and dammit I suck at it

    In the deep of the knight
    beside some scimitar
    there was a glowing light
    calling the guitar
    let's hear a melody
    you are up to par
    it's not a felony
    to throw peasants in tar.

    In the deep of the night, I ponder what was
    Such as when I held tight the illusion of love
    Or when I believed there was purpose above
    But my dreams never live in the light of the sun
    Forwards or backwards, it all seems the same
    Turn my cheek to the lies, my back on the shame
    Platitudes about attitudes are a lonely refrain
    In the deep of the night
