The Writer
I am early for appointments but not rising.
Research says creatives create late
sleep in, even if it’s not true, it’s what I do
what I’ve done, forever, my flute echoing at midnight.
Keystrokes ringing at 2 am while others dream
I scheme dreams.

I used to be more of a late night/wee hours kind of person but since I retired I’ve become an early bird. I love being reminded of ‘flute echoing at midnight’ (for me it was a guitar) and ‘Keystrokes ringing at 2 am while others dream’. The internal rhyme in ‘I scheme dreams’ reminds me of a night elf or sandman, too, Sascha!

I like the thought of scheming dreams while others dream.

To scheme dreams… love that… I’m not a night person (but not really a morning person either)… can you be a midday person?

Hello fellow night owl! I do most of my writing at night, plan trips, paint rocks…even bake. Love your last line of scheming dreams….

Thank you, Mish. I’ve always liked the quiet of nighttime. Just me and the barred owls. 🙂
