Midnight Dreams (A Poetry Thread)

Published on 6 July 2024 at 01:00

This week, I made a poetry thread that is slightly different from my previous threads. I made these as a spinoff from one of my favorite blog posts, Midnight Thoughts. I wanted to share more about the inner feelings of a so-called midnight thought in the mind of a teenage girl who believes in hope, love, and eternal happiness. In this thread, you will see various types of poetry structures like a sonnet, free verse, elegy, and haiku. As always, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy! :P

Midnight Dreams

Midnight Sky

Haiku

The night sky glistens 

With stars and specs of glitter

Lost in midnight thoughts

Kitty

Free-verse

 

a celestial black cat 

stalks around the street 

she stops in front of a house

caught staring, and as quiet as a mouse

 

a misunderstood little thing

creeps quietly along the door

she knows inside there is love 

and a place to sleep, quietly above

 

still, she thinks it would be better

to sleep underneath a torn-up sweater

behind the corner of the alley-way 

even though all she wants to do is play

 

so she prances down the street

just to go to sleep 

alone and afraid

the little kitty, so dismayed 

 

 

questions for you - 

sonnet

 

do you think of me? 

when you see two friends, strolling down the road

skipping to the heat of the day

two vanilla lattes in each hand

 

did you let it be? 

when the feeling of love slowed

the end of us replayed 

until the back of your mind couldn’t withstand

 

did you try to flee?

the guilt that showed 

when you strayed so far away

from me and the salty sea sand 

 

do you feel free?

now that the ties are sewn

all the memories we made 

are emptied with each strand

 

the betrayal and hurt that we became

was once love, and there’s only one to blame

A Midnight Elegy

Elegy

 

From my sorrowful love, and to your sorrowful hate 

From the happiest memories to the ones I wish you could take

From my childhood youth and your growing away

From the time you left me and strayed the other way

 

From when we were kids, and playing a game

From the time you granted me the biggest of pains

From my sadness and sorrow and all types of grief

From my missings of you and my lessenings of sleep

 

From the snuggles and cuddles, we had just as children

From the mornings and evenings of each of the seasons

From the falling asleeps and the reading of books

From the following of each of the turns and the looks

 

From the deeps and depths from the bottom of my heart

From the sparks of the fire, I wish you the best of luck

From the thought of losing a bond such as ours

From the midnight exchange of blowing out the fire

Latte Love,

Jill☕️
