Wild Nights
by Emily Dickinson

Wild nights. Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port
Done with the compass
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden.
Ah, the sea.
Might I but moor
Tonight with thee!

That's lovely Stef, I just looked on PoemHunter for some more of hers and there are over a thousand! Amazingly prolific. I struggle with one a week!

I was just thinking:
"I've not written a haiku
For quite a while now".

I have a bad case of haiku block Driving to and from work in the dark isn't helping

Haiku is a relaxed state of mind. It'll come back.

I'm just enjoying a load of John Cooper Clarke on youtube. I've never heard of him before until yesterday, but he's fantastic. Thanks for the introduction.

Me too
Best i can do tonight
Chasing a new job today, hope i can up the pace,
Feeling jaded, but i'll not quit,
One door shuts, another opens
