Poems - Night Sounds

Night Sounds

by fogglethorpe

The shadow of a swaying ash,
the mocking moon with pilfered light,
the words that I have yet to speak,
the ancient glow of dying orbs;

a beat I missed, a breath I lost,
analogies, contingencies,

and nothing- yes, and everything.

Quite intriguing piece of poetry. I love how you kept a bit of mystery and sustained it till the end. Really great work.
Fond Regards

overwhelming the intensity it leaves you slack and hyped all at the same time. "Nothing and everything" a bit haunting. Nice one Hugh.

"nothing and everything" - love how this came full circle - encompassing life. Beautifully done!

Such a fine sense of rhythm in this... and that's certainly not all.
Love it, especially your last three lines. Cheers, Mary Ann

The sense of quiet and space here is almost tactile.
