A Night-Time Wander

by Bradley Peter   Mar 9, 2011


See in the shadows,
What isn't there,
Midnight sheds light,
On light so fair,

In tower blocks,
Blocks filled with light,
Blocks of people,
All boxed-in tight,

Distant noises,
Of cars in gear,
Sound so sensitive,
To an eager ear,

Men lie lonely,
On humbled streets,
Tucked in tightly,
To cardboard sheets,

Ladies of the night,
All lie in wait,
Waiting to quote,
Their nightly rate,

Could walk forever,
And endlessly roam,
But I'll explore more tomorrow,
As now, I'm home

    I liked this poem, you painted a picture and at first I wasn't sure where you were going to go with this.

    After about the cardboard box line I was starting to get it. You're very good at subtle hints in the poems you write.

    thank you for the comment and I always vote accordingly. I may write poem off emotion but base judgement off logic.

    Warm Regards,
    Shaun

    I really enjoyed this poem =)
    The flow was perfect and the rhyming was consistent!
    Also the imagery you created was both simplistic and entrancing.
