First Insistent Night Poems Kept Poem by Terence George Craddock

late at night
in bed trying
to sleep fast

when poetic lines insistent
slumber awoke invaded head
space pacing first lines kept

first lines kept thought
coming in thought night late
repeating insistent insistent

rhyme lines poem first
lines insisted write
need be written first

insistent poem lines
first insistent
night poems kept

coming sleep eluded
in bed out lines
Now! demanded write

there is a transition
point in time when
poet we are poetry
