Time to Think

An empty room,
An untouched notebook,
A vacant set of swings,
Or a silent night.

The curtains are drawn,
Exposing an ugly view
Of the neighbors’
2-story.
Candide, Teen Vogue, and the Bible
Lay on the floor.

Lines and lines
Of verse,
Poetry and prose,
Research and notes,
Consume
These pages.

Sisters;
Four
Swing,
Pumping their legs.
Giving their thoughts
To the sky.

Thoughts:
Spoken like conversation
In her head.
They’ll formulate
And reflect
All night long.


The author's comments:
I'm a thinker; a night owl. I'm so analytical and observant and this poem makes it impossible for me to deny that about myself.
