moonwake

the pulchritudinous moonwake captivates 
inescapable 

implicature is 
inevitable 

as our psyche thirsts for light 
so poetry shines into the recesses 
illuminates umpteen flaws 
inversely 
provides balm for forsaken

Enlightening! Poetry can be a tool for catharsis. Get underneath your skin. Find the form and words that fit the mood. Yes, we need to know the flaws, not to depress ourselves, but to lean into the light. Hugs

The first line got me. A short but captivating piece that would leave you finding a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Hmmm I think this kind of writing is too far out of my wheelhouse, but it's a cool idea!
