Rhapsody in Harlem

The visual effect in the mind's eye is strong as the measured pace of your stanzas carries along. First the arch, the faces lit as if by moonlight, probably by a follow spotlight or some such. Languours of wild grass, the concept of the true colors of the apple, the crow feathers, the living truth they hold, as opposed to that found on a stage, is salient and interestingly rendered. Your write is thoughtful and charming. Enjoyed this.

I see this account is rather new. If you are new to the site, welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here.

This was kind of a self-challenge, writing tersely and hoping to evoke sensations, while developing a halfway sensible theme. Oddly, the opening was inspired by an abstract idea, not directly included, but which I believe has the same effect of the isolation within crowds.

And yes, I am, still very much trying to get my bearings. There's a great deal of material to explore, and many resources, so I'm semi-lurking (Haha.) Though I'm definitely enjoying it so far, thank you. : )

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you. : ) As implied, I was a bit nervous with this one.
