Crystal Night

a warning

the darkness pumps steps

down smoke streets, burning

light features the

cow-eyed, the clamped jaws

and forced laughter of

those with bent souls,

we are past words,thought

is trapped in brown amber,the

night creeps round each corner

reminiscent of ominous halloween nights; good write

Sounds like he is holding everything on the inside, letting it bend his soul. Dark write. Valentine

If only such warnings were taken heed of, the pace of life deafens some, sadly, poignant as always Leslie :)

[Coyote Song]

This has dark ominous feel, perhaps for a very good reason, I'm thinking. Impressive work.

[Lyn Anderson]

We are, in fact, well past words. Will anyone listen, see, or heed the warning. It isn't in human nature to pay attention.

[Tina Kline]

Dark and sinister. Outstanding imagery. People need to pay attention, warnings are few and far between from those who truly see what is coming. A fantastic poem.
