Night Street
smooth black

empty

dark


I am alone
gregorian
chant
in solitude

earth turning
over


I see

only darkness

3. Evocative...
Somber, without being dark.

Almost restful...

:hug:

Makes me want to dig up some Gregorian chants and go to bed to dream...

4. My dear NYC_SKP...
It was very dark on the way home last night from the open mic...

And that triggered this...

Thanks, sweetie...

5. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy...
.
... EXCELLENT -- once again.
.
If I hadn't been logged in to DU, I might've had to -- the feeling
of isolation was so strongly and viscerally conveyed with this one.
.
I saw your mention of the inspiration. I hope that was it and that
it was transitory. Still feeling that dark... then PM me about it,
please?
.
To get over that poem, I have to go fix myself a bowl of chocolate
ice cream -- MAYBE even need some Hershey's syrup to come up
from this one.

P-s-s-s-s-t.

Thanks for that rationalization.

6. My dear MiddleFingerMom!
Ah, I'm always good for rationalizations, sweetie!

And thank you for all your good comments...

Glad you enjoyed!

And not to worry....the darkness was very transitory...
