Moonlight (1836-1893) public domain
Choice of the Masterpiece
Hank picked the above as it gives a perfect perspective effect. It is akin
to standing in the middle of a railway track which appears to meet at the top.
It provides a depth effect
A straight and lonely street
Late at night accentuating the creeps
The moon shy in emitting light
Lingering smokescreen of long misty nights
Phantoms real or imagined
Following not far behind it would seem
The feeling when walking alone
Still far from home
Loose pebbles on the ground
Being kicked the only sound
Setting eerily in motion
Wild imaginations
Words and names could not describe
Like water gurgling out a broken pipe
It had the feelings of a long walk
To walking with heavy feet
