Notes About The Poem

Nebulous Or Novel

In quaint quiet shadows,
a flame might flicker,
silken wisp on  sight,
night channel wave,
I tap into, 
as shrouded ghost, 
my vocal template,
dark green leaf cast,
I cagily address,
eerie script nocturnal,
theatre of silence,
begging to erupt,
dim lit street platform,
poignant palette pointer,
fantasy in bloom,
blind seed dispersal,
for furtive audience,
spurred and spurned by,
my whispered rally,
nebulous or novel,
stark wooden benches,
empty chair syndrome,
context, conjure, cater,
traffic lights hue’d symbol,
clueless plots on queue

I see bench in this poem but definitely this is not for Nette's short verse contest. Nicely done, Howard, and thanks for your recent generous comments to my poems

Creative work you have penned. Way to go. I see some use of alliteration scattered about. Sara K
