John Michaels Poet Nonet

The Nameless One

Petrifying prediction proffered.
Abhorrent abominations
and shapeless shadows stalk streets.
Perpetually pitch
as Luna's light lapsed.
Prostrate and pray:
Stygian
nightmare
roused.

Lisa Ricci May 1, 2017 at 10:21 AM Hello John. Wow. The Nonet is in perfect form. Your theme allows the reader to pause for a moment. Your words are expressive. There is a story there. Good luck with the contest. Well done entirely. John Michaels May 1, 2017 at 10:55 AM Thank you for your comments - always appreciated. I really wanted to do something a bit different for this contest (I ditched my first attempt - Numb - but may upload it at some point if I feel brave)! Thanks so much. Regards, John.

Paul Callus April 29, 2017 at 3:29 PM This sounds mysterious and eerie, John. The shapeless nameless one haunts the dark streets...we cannot see, but we can feel....Regards // paul John Michaels April 30, 2017 at 4:14 AM Thanks, Paul - I was going for a Lovecraftian vibe, but left it ambiguous so the reader can put their own spin on things! Regards, John.
