Starry Night Eyes, by Suzette Richards - image generated.
When dappled shadows flit through darkened backstreets, and whispers rendezvous with one another, the usual bright spirits take a backseat. They nurture remnants of rebounds which smother. When cadence of sweet trilling of dawn chorus unwelcome thief: give dream a few more seconds. Deceit of sun when rays are merely porous, its loving embrace reaches out and beckons. Fomenting trouble ‘gainst my better judgement; tormented by unbidden thoughts of moments. The unexamined life is not worth living – fulfilment’s in the act of freely giving. Inspiration that’s echoed in poetry, I dance with shadows in this vibrant city. Poetic form: Yclept Sonnet. For more details regarding this form, please see my article, Introducing Three New Sonnet Forms, here on PS. Also, a 'Summary of Metres' is depicted.
