Comes the Night ~ NaPoWriMo Day 8

Blue Hour, Amphitrite Lighthouse, Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Comes the night
With celestial swagger
Its vanguard in scarlet, violet and indigo

Descends the void dotted by galaxies and stars, a planet or two
Beyond the dim beacons built by small creatures

To penetrate the darkness they fear

NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025

Day 8

What is NaPoWriMo? National Poetry Writing Month.  AKA GloPoWriMo for Global Poetry Writing Month because, you know, it’s a worldwide event. During the month of April, poets challenge themselves to write at least one poem a day, every day, for the entire month. So, 30 poems in 30 days.

Day 8, and still on track. 🙂

If you’d like to join in, or just want to learn more about this annual poetry writing event, the more-or-less official website is NaPoWriMo.net.

I am also one of the admins for a small, private FB group, NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025 if you want to follow other poets on their journey. Just click “Join”.
