Writing verse

Right. One of my rules, don't write verse that's intended to convey an intense emotion when you're still in the moment causing the emotion. I had slacked off on this rule, and, tonight am getting a keen lesson on why I decided to make that a rule in the first place. If I had to guess, I'd say about 6000 words made it to the screen, thankfully I was writing directly to text rather than on paper, I would've easily wasted a tree with incoherent ramblings, incomplete thoughts, a couple pages of just one word written over and over again.

It also doesn't help that my body is exhausted but my mind isn't ready to retire just yet. Right now my peripheral vision is full of little twinkling and light bursts, my optic nerves siding with the rest of my body in the rising mutiny for sleep. So, I'm going to go lay down. I'll likely be up in a few minutes, but I should at least try.
