Writing Poetry at 4 am
To those writing poetry at 4 am
Writing poetry at 4 am
Is not as romantic as the poets say
It is not with love I write
Or hatred
It is neither
And yet both
But still neither
4 am is for lovers, sheltered in each other’s arms
4 am is for the weary to slumber soundly
And dream of nothing, and yet everything
Just like the poet at 4 am
Are my words full of warmth or
Are they cold and desolate?
They might be neither
Could they possibly be both?
Red-eyed, foggy-minded, caffeine-fueled
Poetry
Could it even be considered poetry?
They laugh to themselves
“4 am is not the time for poetry!"
Unless it is
It is with a strange emptiness I write
And yet it is also a fullness
I tried
It cannot be described
Just know that whatever it is–
It is not as romantic as the poets say,
Writing poetry at 4 am.
