There in the shadows of the night
There within the glow of city lights
There are many things that can affright
There are just as many that excite
There, a riot is about to ignite
There in the shadows of the night
There, helicopters with floodlights
There, to televise the blight
There, someone chooses wrong over right
There, someone catches the wrong person’s sight
There in the shadows of the night
There, pray battles prey come stroke of midnight
There, under a sky dark and finite
There, where the moon is the only light
There, secret lovers meet to unite
There in the shadows of the night
dVerse Poets Pub Tenth Anniversary |
Meet the bar with Chant poetry
Tonight as we continue to celebrate the Tenth Anniversary here at dVerse Poets Pub, Björn prompts us to use our voices in a chant.
Here in a mix of a-starting with the same word as opening rhyme and b- closing each line in a tight monorhyme, I also revisit the Quartern form for an assist.
