MOHIT MITRA Poet Other

MIDNIGHT IN VELVET

Sponsor: Nette Onclaud
Contest: THROUGH AESTHETICA
Date: 21July 2026


Night mantled every copse in velvet's umbrage,
Till silence gathered plicatures of air;
The moon distilled its argent effluence through leaves,
And darkness mastered the susurrant art of prayer.
A solitary moth unseamed the cerulean hush;
The brook rehearsed forgotten silver speech.
Earth wore an almost sacramental nap of shade,
While dawn arrived too reverent to breach.
