Midnight Laughter (Nonet)

by Angie   Jan 21, 2008


I've decided to repost some of my older poems. This one was written in February of 2006.

Midnight Laughter

laying in bed as the clock strikes twelve
eyes open wide, covers pulled tight
haunting shadows dance on walls
the fear within causes
laughter to erupt
then realizing
it soothes my
aching
heart

**Nonet ~ 9 lines, first line has 9 syllables and each following line has 1 less syllable until the last line only has 1 syllable. Rhyme scheme is optional**

    Wow I must admit I'm normally not a big fan of structured poetry, I don't know why but I just seem to rebel againsed rules. the way you have said so much here in so few words all while staying within the confines of a set of rules leaves me in awe of your talent. This poem really touched my heart.

    Wow, this is truly beautiful, portrayed with deeply touching tones. Great nonet! I like the imagery that you created, it's very intense and vivid. Emotions are overwhelming in the whole poem. I can relate to this piece in a way.
