A letter lies upon the moonlit desk
It's black ink radiant as it is bold
The table lamp spits into life only buffered by the musty air
The title unambiguous
Marching words appear with courteous ease
Their robust order craves no inspection
Naked defiance is laid bare
No options left unturned
A cooling fan tickles the senses
The critics forehead tips forward in deliberation
Drops of sweat plunge like Autumnal lawyers
A Coracle packed with words flows across the page
The quill wavers on the final line
Pronouncing, a pledge, perchance too deep to fathom
Two fingers set forth the smoking torpedo
Swaddling folds enclose the letter to the target
The periscope petition
Only a ripple in heady waters
Dispatches drowning in a sea of purgatory
With a life vest to hand, time to write yet again

A letter lies upon the moonlit desk
It's black ink radiant as it is bold
The table lamp spits into life only buffered by the musty air
The title unambiguous
Marching words appear with courteous ease
Their robust order craves no inspection
Naked defiance is laid bare
No options left unturned
A cooling fan tickles the senses
The critics forehead tips forward in deliberation
Drops of sweat plunge like Autumnal lawyers
A Coracle packed with words flows across the page
The quill wavers on the final line
Pronouncing, a pledge, perchance too deep to fathom
Two fingers set forth the smoking torpedo
Swaddling folds enclose the letter to the target
The periscope petition
Only a ripple in heady waters
Dispatches drowning in a sea of purgatory
With a life vest to hand, time to write yet again
