rythmic confusion.

megaphone voices create black and white notes
in the atmosphere;
changing tones and producing sounds
that sound like the rain and thunder
on my windowsill in the dead of night.

hesitantly,
you said ‘this isn’t the time or place;’
you were surrounded by too many people
to show your true colors.

-and the music played on.

this was inspired by 'night' and went on a slight tangent..

    This really isn't fair, how you are able to write something so truly amazing with just fifty six words. I love it to death. There's gorgeous imagery in here; I love the way you carried the story. Thank you so much for entering!
