Michelle Faulkner Poet Verse

Grows the Night

Grows the night among turquoise twilight
Nocturnal eyes glitter reflections
Of pewter stones and silver rivers
Ivory tongues lap at liquid air
Grows the night a navy canopy
Sparks dappled with ink-splattered fireflies
Lulling agitated sun to sleep
As the sprouting moonrise grows the night.

John Watt June 11, 2020 at 1:09 AM Like a delicious slice of cheesecake, dense and rich; you savor little bites, and too soon it's gone and you want another. I've read this five times and I want to finish typing this so I can read it again. Transcendent. Michelle Faulkner June 11, 2020 at 9:56 PM Thank you for such a sweet decadent comment, John! (speaking of transcendent...soupmail!) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 11, 2020 at 4:58 AM I agree. I had to come back for another slice.
