Brooding Nimbus

Contest: Brooding Nimbus Sponsor: Edward Ibeh 6-19-23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brooding Nimbus Midnight trails a filmy brooding nimbus, Idle shadows etch lines on the daylight; Vertigo lingers, teeters on limbus, Distorted ghosts escape into dawn’s sight. Remnants of realms, inborn of misshaped clouds, Ruminate raindrops to bleed the bizarre Palpable phantoms the mid-day enshrouds - Reclines as shape-shifts in murmuring stars. Hobbled memories drifting unresolved, Surrealistic needles stab dazed eyes Fretting repines, floats in veils unabsolved, Fades slowly into the unanswered why. Slowly day chases back mystic extremes Evening broods in misty nests of new dreams.
