The Arrogant Poet

As a poet , you some time feel the need to share everything especially at night I wake up confused or confident this is my most creative time of the day.  I posted my poem 3 hours late, I simply just fell asleep, woke up feeling guilty then quickly penned this and gave it as the second poem for that day.

#185a Late Night Ramblings


Ramblings or clear thinking
In the middle of the night
When I awake
Have I been woken by the gem?
Of a clear thought that must be shared
Or have I been woken
By an empty stomach
Or some other bodily function
Which needs to be answered
Am I awake ?
Or is this part of REM?
If it is
Will I awake
To find nothing on this page
Or will it be filled?
With my clear thoughts
That oh so needed to be shared
Or will it be filled with ramblings
Ramblings trying desperately
To be much more
If I continue on
Maybe I will produce a gem
Maybe I should review
What has gone before
In case I have already produced that gem
What is now left is the rambling
If only I could stop
Be confident to stop
Feeling I have done enough
I have delivered
The arrogance
The confidence
Be bold
And stop and say this is enough
Enough of the rambling
Make it stop!

Make it stop!
