I like the way you are able to write your poem on a picture as you do, Rick. And the poem seems very ominous to me, gives me a kind of chill.
ReplyDeletedang...nice rick...that opening two couplets or sentences really grabbed me, on the dark sentences...works great with the pic too...
ReplyDelete...the notion of speaking dark sentences is quite scary... it's as if someone has to depart forever and that his/her voice is singing like a psalm recited by blackbirds after twilight... smiles...
ReplyDeleteWOW, WOW, WOW!! That last stanza is so powerful :) Amazing stuff, now following your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vuong Pham! Look forward to reading more of your poetry as well!
