Compression Poem

 

Ignite

a call to night...
crawl inside my skin
let poetry ignite
each syllable a pearl
I'll not dare to pluck
lest I recite

Hey! I really liked this. Its short and really fast paced but great. It has an urban feel to it and I can hear it being read at some poetry reading. Really nice.
