Poetry talks to me in the indigo stillness of a warm summer night. Chasing word games in my mind, under a sky full of stars...who walk me..firing the glow in my eyes...timeless...ageless Fireflies glimmer Across the turnstile.. Scent of incense Like the soul of the night,a jeweled zephyr trails the quietude.. Argent misted, transcending dark..embellishing shadows dancing like wraiths in the languid tawny gloom. Moonlight thoughts dazzle.. Clouds airbrush the moon. The stridulation of crickets and hoo-hoo-hoooo of owls fill the nocturnal space like pantomimic gestures of vocalists. My breath revels in scents of silver crested blossoms.. I feel the sketch of eternity in time's evanescence.. Chiaroscuro- Mise-en-scene Unfolds.. I listen.... #Haibun
Beautiful work, this.

This was amazing Yassy, the way the words of color were drawn down, everything seemed to fade into each other with such harmony as you delicately arranged your words in such a form that perfectly matched line by line. Not to mention your wording is amazing and visually colorful as you always are. A poem that warrants admission to see 😉!! A lovely piece my friend.🌹🌹
