Notes About The Poem

3rd in Dramatic/Light Verse Contest (Sponsor: Nette Onclaud)

Judged: September 16th, 2025

Strangers in the Night

Surely, we walked together...
But just like shadows,
Some cheap ghost climbs in nightly,
Pondering the same.

Were all our lives rich folktales?
Panic knots tighter,
As I must have lost your face—
The one that was mine.
