Some Nights

[hack]

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

[Pete Ak]

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 ;)

Live and be well - H

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.
