My poem for today is very loosely based on today's poetry resource (*STOP and see below, #1) and the prompt, in so far as I mention "night" in the first line (*STOP and see below #2)....
Straight from the official NaPoWriMo 2015 site:
#1: In keeping with the theme of fun, our poetry resource for today is, well, less a resource than a diversion. You know how, when you go to search something in Google, the search box will automatically pre-populate with potential searches, based on your first few words? Sometimes, there’s a sort of serendipitous poetry to these automatically completed search terms, which leads us to Google Poetics, a website devoted to capturing these rare specimens and preserving them for posterity.
#2: And now, our (as always, optional) prompt, provided to us by NaPoWriMo participant Carla Jones. Today, I challenge you to take your gaze upward, and write a poem about the stars. You may find inspiration in this website that lists constellations, while also providing information on the myths associated with each one, as well as other salient information. Your poem could be informed by those myths or historical details, by the shapes or names of the constellations, or by childhood memories of seeing them. Any form or style will do.

Without any further ado, the poem...
Last night I had the strangest dream...
There was a car and a girl and it went on and on for a bit and then a bit more.
I might have laughed if I had remembered how.
It's like that time with that tipped cow;
Legs a twitchin'
Body itching'
Stuck.
Done like dinner
Like the cow.
Ow.
