dark night

The darkness swells up around me
I am dark, I am night.

These feelings, they overwhelm me
I am imbued, I am distilled...

...Dwelling in mystification...
...Breathing in contracted phrases...
...I fade away into non-existence...

Darkness...silence...the hum of a computer left on overnight.

Blinking in artificial light...although it is not far away.

Tired...another shit poem...........

they're not shit! they clearly express a mood and paint some great visuals in my mind. I especially like the first 3 stanzas of this one, once you reached "the hum of a computer" I guess it took a bit of the mystery/mystical-ness away, but that's just personal taste. keep it up and good luck with your essays!

btw what kind of structures are there in poetry? I'm curious cuz I only remember vaguely: limericks, haikus lol *scratches head*....what were you using for yours?

I don't use any structure...lol that's why I'll never be a successful poet. =P

Thanks for reading it though. =)
