Notes About The Poem

Lamp Posts

Gently… 

lamp posts call me,

to sleep on rainfall’s quilt

as dewdrops, to misty stardust

calm breath.

I like this poem - it evokes night. I bought a lottery ticket tonight. One of the good things about NYC along with the light posts. Good luck in the contest - and in your life!!

So effortlessly strewn as your soft, soft lines invite me to rest and dream. A homerun of a poem, Nette
