Midnight boom town streets have this allure imagining an uncanny venture eavesdrop veil surround but dark as coal how I love my after hours stroll Secret worlds unfold their impish plot mesmerised entanglement a tiered whatnot black crush velvet sky we must extol how I love my after hours stroll Gilt fantasies that float across each lane way fluorescent gremlin from some ghostly parking bay gust on salt ice pier might buttonhole how I love my after hours stroll Snow clad mall whistler gaffe prone while wandering the ink hue urban zone a chapter lift and snatch from begging bowl how I love my after hours stroll Traffic signals stellar stoic stance heartbeat of nocturnal moonlight dance frozen digit signage reeks of twinkling North Pole how I love my after hours stroll

You have a way with words dear howard, i am in awe of the way youv painted imagery in a manner that gets readers captivated and in awe. So many lines stood out for me and the flow is seamless. I especially love the opening lines, got me hooked to read more especially “ eavesdrop veil surround but dark as coal how I love my after hours stroll“ i can imagine your love for those strolls, so much can be grasped. The last stanza is brilliant too. Exquisite alliterations! Impeccable write really.
