Silhouette of Night

SILHOUETTE OF NIGHT Skulking in the fleeting light as if mocking shapelessness blended colors, mottled grey, coyly dance on dew wet streets. Silently dread’s shivers raise, dark against a faded day, fears that live within the soul. John G. Lawless For the Silhouette of a Heptagonet – poetry contest Sponsor – nette onclaud 11/8/2014
