una noche de sueños (3-word-lines challenge to myself)
if we were
to stroll on,
you and i,
all night long
through city streets
over cobbled bridges
under eyes of
lights and stars
alive with caffeine
charging our veins,
talking hours until
the words evaporate,
sitting, watching boats,
birds, breathing synced,
sun not yet
dressed for day
but waking up
a sleepy sky,
i may rest
knowing there's more
than promises drunk
to half empty
by youth's yawning
fools in love,
and dream might
cut more space
for crystal path.

i hate rules.. but this experiment turned out really well. i've been tempted to try writing in confined formats to see what happens, but have always refrained. this is encouraging :)

my kind of night-out! this is beautiful-- I feel like I'm in a glimmering moonlit stream of your consciousness while reading this (seriously this poem gave me that feel...) and since jack rejected me recently maybe I'll just hang-out with you then some other time. Love it, babe! :-)

thank you so much. :D it was sort of a vein of consciousness/fantasy, late night writing to get the words flowing again. hey, you pick the day, i'm there- jack rejected me too. :(
The sad truth is...

You're ladies. I, on the other hand, Jack has invited over for tea and sex. So, in your faces?
I liked this poem a lot. Reminded me of my wilder days (well, the beginnings of them actually). The structure left me a little confused when you had to run over lines to complete a thought. I see the constraints you worked within and you did brilliantly. I wonder... would you consider writing another like this that had to be only one three word phrase/idea per line? That would be a challenge. If you think you're up to it. :)

'by youth's yawning
fools in love' You're such a little star with your words, J, you took this one home and smoked it. Brilliant.

Another masterstroke.
Multiverse in a box.
Speaks at so many levels.
And like your previous works

About going thru oldies
"I would be here awhile
Trapped in the hourglass
The needle pointing at you
And my eyes stuck on the verse
Of this revolving universe
I have but leaped across
A few planets and a capricious moon
The galaxy awaits and then the giant void.."
