Clandestine Night

by Anthony M   Jan 18, 2011


Moon shines through wispy clouds
then slowly disappears as the
clouds meet the earth,
fog envelops all in it's path
street lamps cast a yellow glow
eerie silence disturbed by wet leaves
crackling as water cascades through their branches
Solitary car's headlights pierce the damp air
illuminating droplets of water like a galaxy of diamonds
Smoking the day's last cigarette
hidden within this veil of secrecy
I wear the shroud like a protective blanket
feeling peaceful, calm and secure
I am invisible

    I agree this was a magnificent poem. My favorite line and the most vivid to me was

    "illuminating droplets of water like a galaxy of diamonds.

    what visions this brought to mind.

    This is one very simple and yet so powerful poem. Great choice of words...spl the last line 'I am invisible'. This is breathtaking.

    all the best and take care

    What a awesome piece. The imagery is wonderful. I felt like I was standing in the dark rain hidden from the world.
    Excellent job!

    I love nature poems and you have done a wonderful job with this poem. There were parts that had great imagery and you can picture everything in ones head. The flow was good as well, giving one a quick read through of this scene. The only problem I have with it is that you didn't go on for maybe a second stanza! :D

    In all though you did a good job and I liked the many different scenes you have painted for us with your words. Great job and keep writing.
