Penumbra
Shadow puppets prey
over me
in the day
I swear
through clouded
eyes
of shrouded
prayer
Paperly
sliding upon
perimeters
prying
from VIP
shadowbox
showboxes
Stalking
with faces
in the clocks

I read this 5 times. Spooky is what I came up with. Shadow puppets from unseen puppeteer. I work for meaning...I'd love to know your motivation. Brava!

I appreciate that greatly! :) I'd actually rather not say. It's nothing personal whatsoever, but I'd like this to stand vaguely for a time before I go into it. I might update the notes later, but initially I think it would be more interesting to just let it be and see what folks think :)

Time haunts us all, AtoMikOne! And many are slaves to its minutes while others languish in them. This is an excellent observation of such. ⏰

Thank you my dear! <3 It really does, sometimes I feel stretched, and yet compressed by in on all sides.

Not a clue :) Though I do like it!!! I do get images of authority figures. Maybe it is your personal FBI agent?

Another master!
Shame that most folks'round here need to have things spelled out in the most common terms/forms in order to not be confused.
I guess it's inexperience & NOT having gotten 'round a wider variety if Masters (particularly our 20th century predecessors).
Again, big blessing to you, ms mikaila.

I don't mind really, but I tend to make ambiguity the point sometimes. Thank you mister, blessings to you as well :)

Poetic side:
I really like the clouding,the shrouding Death looming over like rain
parchment Japanese walls ripe for the ripping
the ticking was a treasuretrove of victims features that drove us insane.
nevermore.
you write the prelude for our deaths in crosshatched shadows wings,blotting out the sun.
i'd hoped you'd buy us all a round of drinks before that happens lol.
----------------------------------------------------------------
my minds eye:
i totally thought of the puppet master movies i watched as a kid,totally killer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_Master_(franchise)
and i've made shadowboxes out of cut up Batman comicbooks and it is so freaking fun.

Thank you so much Autumn, I feel very honored by that :) That definitely was the sentiment when I wrote this...
