Poem jetty

That time of the night when I think I could write some poetry
lit under a little light
peering into a screen white
I feel like I could come up with a verse
hoping to be inspired by a voice terse
of awake cicadas outside of my window
singing in a sonorous buzz
of monsoon wet humid fuzz
and dew drops that glint and glow

I could write a poem
or words that'd make sense some
or not, for who's to read
except you and you and you alone 

blandly crushed by incoming sleep
here are some lines, some rhymes deep
the deepest part of the shallowest end.
I'm hoping to be inspired
in this drowsy state it just might transpire
a poetic revelation
right behind this slumberous bend

for you see, 
I'm hoping to recreate
that moment of strung out daze
when my head stayed benumbed in a stoned haze 
and each blink was a moment epiphanic
rhymes had rhythms and sonnets had symphony

just being droll a touch
for in that smashed out stupor
I reckon I didn't write much.
