Mike Bayles Poet Verse

After Karaoke

music lingers
streetlights
shine stars
man and woman
sleeping in shadows
the library’s closed
an intimate voice
on the radio
as I drive home
midnight
the spell is cast
midnight
as I drive home
on the radio
an intimate voice
the library’s closed
sleeping in shadows
man and woman
shine stars
streetlights
music lingers

Crystol Woods June 17, 2024 at 7:23 AM Hey that's cool how you've written this in reverse and it still makes sense. It gives the poem the feeling of continuation... as of this isn't a one night deal but something done many times. I love karaoke!! <3

Duke Beaufort May 13, 2024 at 9:18 AM Mike, a pleasure to read. You have a way to present what you see with elegant simplicity. Has to be fun to sing and go.
