Laying in bed staring up at the ceiling,
Staring at the dots above like drifting clouds,
Cool air circulating around me:
Calm, cool darkness permeates the air.

Birds drifting across the sky,
an endless wave of wings a-flutter,
streaking across a mass of clouds,
suspended like marshmallows
floating in a sea of hot chocolate.

Blue stolid planes of shifting silence
moving across the celestial sphere.
Closing in around my head,
forms of suffocating fear.
Crushing... heavy... cold.

Head resting on a pillow of stone.
Arms folded across my chest.
All is still -
lost within the dark night.

This was just something I had to write for English class based upon a fairly restrictive formula. However, it cam out much better thann I had expected. It was mostly an exercise with syntax to help us understand how writers use syntax in poetry to construct meaning.

Also...
Dang man, I can't think up good titles >_<
does anyone have any better ideas...?

Very nice! I love the use of hot chocolate as a simile. :)

I like this a lot, taking something so simple and making it so complex with the descriptions and actions. The similes and metaphors are great. For a title, how about, "Inertia." I always love that word and the way it rolls of my tongue, plus I don't think it's too far away from the meaning of your poem. Just an idea ^^ Anyway great piece and it's nice seeing something from you again.
