Some nights the desert
is wet and warm
Some nights the desert's moon
shows clear as daylight
Some nights the silent desert breeze
brings you back
Some nights in your desert
I laugh and cry
Some nights the desert
is wet and warm
Some nights the desert's moon
shows clear as daylight
Some nights the silent desert breeze
brings you back
Some nights in your desert
I laugh and cry

Full of intrigue and poignancy; what does the metaphorical desert represent? brings me back from where? The emboldenment of the words... 'the warm desert's clear breeze brings your laugh...' adds even more intrigue... clever work. Like it loads.
Nice to see you flitting through hack. I like your economy here, but i'm not so sure about the sudden switch to your in the last verse. I can see why you've used it to make the poem within a poem but the shell cracks a bit with the shift. Still, maybe perfection is the preserve of God

A poem in a poem, wow. Very good. I only wish this site allowed more flexibility for graphic expression for then I'm sure you would have arranged your poem differently in space -you wouldn't have needed bold letters. Nice to see you back with a contribution!
A poem so nice to look at, and just as moving to read it. I like it very much.
"But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
"In flames and torment?""Oh, yes, I do."
"That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said."Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
