Whipping

black ink shapes skitter in the road shade
in the tree shade under bushes into the dark
no streetlight
transform to running ink lines whipping whipping 
away from the light 
so fast eyes are deceived
yet every night under the moon
ink shapes skitter and shiver in place 
race
past all we know

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Veronica. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am going to see if I can write something for a couple contests this weekend. Hope you find the inspiration to do the same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Love, Carol
