Noctilucent Now

Come to Now, brothers, and how! Firewood after dark. Compliments, O sacred cow! Fling and flicker stark. Could be, O my sages. Riddles wrought in rhyme. Time, bequeath thy ages! Prime o'er Soul? Sublime. Tapping on the clipboard? Fingernail or pen? Dragon, will ye guard thy hoard? Fennel, fire, and fen... Oblique? Carelessness, critique? Frequency, catch flame! Will the strong succor the weak? If they want food, claim. Catch up on thy sleep? Dig deep. Cross the boneyard? Creep. Preparation! Want to weep? Stack behind the heap! Present in the moment? It's better that ye be. Rebellions to foment? Sink foemen in the sea. Wind, rattle the weathervane! Let the boy explain? Yes, before we toss in main! After a spring rain! Educate for poppies? Dreamers, why wile away? Fish for gold or crappies? O for, some sunny day. Fright or plight? Best be polite? Doom and dynamite! Gods of death, thy dun delight! Lone in line of sight...
