As midnight bursts like stardust on a cobblestone My raw vision carries me beyond earth’s floor, Where marbles with painted dots turn into hallways And shamans in long robes on axis roam: Here I write of gothic myths and folklore Releasing secrets through drumbeats of old tribal songs As dark mysteries lay deep on hidden pools… The acid in my bones spreading unknown lyrics While stylus of quill darts on flamed parchment Unraveling my soul … coaxing the young to dream. A Brian Strand Contest: End March 18 Standard

Wow Nette, I love the nakedness and growling passion. Very cleverly written to achieve a punch in the solar plexus. Beautiful

Nette, you give us such beautiful aspects of yourself and humanity; archetypes of sensations, consciousness, wonder and mystery.

The passion of poetry written with precise use of beautiful words creating wonderful lines. The last being exceptional. A beautiful piece that I can't say enough about. The form is a perfect choice for the theme.
