Three AM

Anne Mikusinski

Outside

The rain whispers

Playing counterpart to the sounds

Inside

Soft tapping of keys

Give birth to ideas

Baby-stepping their way

Across blank pages.

From another room

Brushed drumbeats and low strings

Spread light upon a scene of 

Quiet work

And little sleep.

Anne Mikusinski has always been in love with words. She’s been writing poems and short stories since she was seven. Her influences range from Robert Frost and Dylan Thomas to David Byrne and Nick Cave. She hopes that one day, some of her writing will impress others the way these writers have had an impact on her.
