Friday Prompts Midnight

Midnight.

My attempt. Comment yours!

The clock strikes,

all is still.

The hour of mystery

of magic and power,

time for mischief to be done.

Darkness reigns

as the veil falls,

creatures of the night

take to flight.

Power of the natural world

set about being heard.

    Words Lost And Found

    When your senses are blind
    Driving you out of your mind
    How do you find that word
    Unique and unheard
    Lost, gone out of your head
    Not there, under your unmade bed
    Nor between your untidy sheets
    Removed during your midnight heat
    You’ve searched along every note-pad line
    Flicked through grandpa’s dictionary overtime
    The missing word is yet to be found
    Your dog stares at you, as if you’re unsound
    It’s somewhere, you wrote it down
    The word, to be your poem’s crown
    Shaking your brain, side to side
    Rattle, rattle, adjectives clash inside
    Suddenly you remember
    It’s something about December
    How could you forget
    The fallen Refugee reject
    Cutting himself on his old sword
    Swearing, “restitution”, is the word
