SPY

Numbness poisoned flowers
spooky nights serenaded
with chattered cowers,

wounded grasp cascaded 
panicked voices bloomed
mother's smile paraded

with gleams doomed,
yearning hopeless answers
as death roamed.

Sotto Poet Date: 5/23/2024 7:14:00 PM There are countless captivating views and intricate lines present in this piece, Tonye.
