Nette Onclaud Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

To Write Poetry

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.

Doug Vinson February 21, 2017 at 9:34 AM Nette, you give us such beautiful aspects of yourself and humanity; archetypes of sensations, consciousness, wonder and mystery.
