I'm walking up the stairs at 3 am.
I change my clothes and yawn very loudly,
a thrush's song beyond my window's view.
Tonight is filled with tunes and black silence.

I know its for fun. Not a critique, just having fun with the lines.
I'm changing out of my pajamas and going to work.
A fine poem though I found it rather dark for the fun poetry.
Regardless, enjoyed it immensely.

"tunes and black silence" Awesome. As an insomniac, I've seen 3 am too many times.

Thank you for your comments tectak, trueenigma, Bilbo, Heartafire and AisforApple

I put this in "for fun" because I felt that it was just a brief playing around with iambic pentameter, rather than a serious attempt to convey something.
