BY THE STREETLAMP

I gorge on black ink shadows
and gulp down silver moon beams
delectable, saporous
by the streetlamp marinade
me hallucinating art
on a diet of glow world 
hue imbued hungry brushstrokes 
dream garnish o'er starlit feast

Sotto Poet Date: 7/28/2025 7:48:00 AM Howard, your poetry about art and perception captures the intense experiences of creativity and inspiration. It implies that art is both enjoyable and consuming, as the speaker enjoys the beauty of pictures while battling with darker overtones. The artist's sensory experience, light and dark, and art's profound power are the topics. Login to Reply
