October

Impressionism? Expressionism?

By Rob AngeliPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Rainbow patter along the

cobweb gardens

dreamgoblins

gobbling all the lights up

Cobblestone in silver

moonsheen

grapes are going leaves are turning

Still I miss you nightmare maker

there is anxious violence

to my missing

October grows colder

and we have no excuse

to meet

ever

What’re you gonna be?

does it require a mask?

There are tears of things, and mortal objects touch the mind.

    The simplicity in this is startling compared to your typical vibe, and I'm adoring it here. The way you formatted this is gorgeous, and I can't get over how perfectly your image matches the hum of these verses. A poem alluding to Halloween has never been written so beautifully! I love the sound of this: "grapes are going leaves are turning Still I miss you nightmare maker there is anxious violence to my missing October grows colder" 💗
