Day 21: a selection of words

Today's prompt gave us a list of word to select from. I chose five & created this poem.

Night flight

black asphalt in a black

night, the headlights

are pools that

I swim through.

An elusive wing

sweeps onto the

dual spot lit stage.

A flash of owl

white against black

a mercurial whitewash

splashed onto a

squandered roadway.

My heart beats

in artillery fire

and I grip the steering wheel.
