In the midnight hour
With a rebel yell
She wrote:
More, more, more
Poem 16 singing
Pickett’s and Idol’s
Voices ringing
Feeling kinda funny
As the hour shifts
Raven came a call in’
Nevermore
I’ve been writing, sharing
Like never before
It’s the midnight hour

Oh, I can so identify with this! What a clever use of ‘In the Midnight Hour’ – as you write it and echo it, I as a reader begin to follow the suggested rhythm of the song!
The concept is so clever too: midnight is a time for silence and concealment in the darkness of the time – and yet here the marathon poets are – spilling their creative souls online! This brings back a sense of what we all shared: truly atmospheric!
Thank you. The marathon is truly a special time.
