Wordsmoker Poetry

Wish.

By Aaron Altman

Good night, friend.  Good night.

From angels, borrow

a quietude

until tomorrow.

Have dream that brings

a smile.  A dream of things

that take a while.

Let peace pervade, and storm

be stayed, as when a cloudless sky is made.

Good night, friend.  Good night.

Be clear of sorrows

for worth of many, many morrows

and wake to find a friend who’ll say

good day, my friend.

Good day.

    Much smoking writing today/tonight. Thank you, AA. I’ll have to re-read this at bedtime.

    Your poetry is so concise. You get a very distinct image and feeling across with so few words, it’s amazing. That alone is difficult, even without the rhyming scheme. I hope we see more of this. Do you have a collection published or posted anywhere else outside of Wordsmoker?

    This is so lovely. It’s making me want to put down my coffee and crawl back into bed and start my morning all all over.

    Truly touching my friend. SL is happier knowing you care. The gift of love is all we can give
