Nocturnal Debut – Inspirational Poetry by Monique Abbott

Nocturnal Debut Poem by Monique Abbott

Oh glorious mythically enchanting night

Surreptitious clouds creeping way up high

Stars fleetingly luminous – obscured in the twinkling of an eye

Like a floating gallery in the galactic sky

Canvasses so vast, brushstrokes gone provocatively awry

Weaving portraits of silk cocoons swaddling Clouded-Sulphur butterflies 

Athena draped in cloud linen, hovering high with Mr. Wise Guy

Grumpy old men with bulbous red noses, bushy bearded gnomes building castles in the sky

Crest feathered cockatoos speechless, completely tongue-tied; White horse named Pegasus go slowly flying by

Butterbur and winter heliotropes metamorphosing into cloud antelopes;  Gleaming white panthers, from the snow-capped mountains they stealthily alight

Zeus watching from Olympus; Thunderbolt subdued by the softness of the moonlight

Rapacious Dracula on the hunt for a bite

Gothic griffins making you tremble with fright

Wrinkled-faced witches vanishing into vagrant white

Masqueraders celebrating the fourth of July

Fireworks smoke dissipating no longer in sight

Cosmic abstracts magnified; Distorted compositions so vividly bright

Expressionism reveling on cloud nine; brain waves electrified

Rhythmic beats echoing from beneath, vibrations rocketing into flight

Magical splendor infinite

Euphoria amplified

Celestial masterpieces in the spotlight.

Encore, Encore!  Cumulus takes a bow. What a fine spectacle they’ve made tonight
