Short Poems

Candle light Incandescence overlain with grime Starry night Shared soundless echoes Sunset Filtered reality, fingerprint detail Bricks Lasting dust of labourer Pencil marks Temporarily lead on Wired Release from malleable cage Sink into dreams Existence grabbed from beneath Clouded view Thinned eyelids obscure insight Tapestry Lose hours for immortality Pass notes Evidential transference of notion

Thank you Andrea :) I'm sure I've not invented anything, it feels similar to call and response type poems - think that's why I like it. Glad you liked these - they were fun to come up with, basically just letting the mind wander :)
