The late night’s silence, Has sweet enchanting power. Sometimes we feel a special peace, Within that deepest hour. Sometimes I have compassion, For the loneliness you live. I see your yearning, heart aching, But you take and never give. Sometimes life runs smooth, Everyone is feeling well. All is fine in the world when Suddenly life becomes a living hell. In this class we were given a limited amount of words to use. The challenge was to create a short poem using ONLY the words that were given.

Even with the restrictions, your poem has good meaning.

Thank you. It was a very challenging class. But, at least there were always words that rhymed. We just had to figure out how to create a poem, using those words.

Thank you very much. I have dozens of longer poems and I've written a lot of Haiku also. I definitely have enough to publish a nice book. SO, I do plan to do that soon.
