Howard Kerr Poet Verse

Smothered Voice Adrift

artic chill
     of polar snow 
storm censor

black ice 
     hushes 
moonlight nomad’s frozen
     scream

Date created and posted : 7 October 2020

Contest : Writing Challenge - Septolet Form

Sponsor : Constance La France


NB The artic chill conditions are a metaphor silencing and censoring the excluded homeless nomad.
