A Blank Verse Sonnet

A chapter in the book Little Poems

Night's Revelations

by Treischel


So often I'll go walking in the dark.
To listen to the rhythms of the night,
Without the blind distractions of the day.
The only light produced by moon and stars.

The moon will cast its glow upon the path,
And pull the waves that crash upon the shore.
I watch the twinkling sky put on a show
And hear the breeze blow gently in the trees.

For then, is when I feel it once again,
The pulse of something vital that's in me.
I sense the vastness of the universe,
That sends mysterious vibrations out.

I have a sudden sense of feeling small
But part of it, all in some mystic way.




There is nothing like the night sky to make you feel the immensity of the Universe. A walk through the woods, or along the beach, increases that cosmic connection.

This Poem is a Blank Verse Sonnet.
A Blank Verse Sonnet is written without a rhyme scheme (and definitely no end-line rhyme), but with iambic pentameter in the traditional 3 quatrain and closing couplet format of a Sonnet.

This picture was taken by the Author himself on June 10, 2013, at Powers Lake in Woodbury, Minnesota.
