The stranger's avatar

The ghost lost his brain no more verses

pm's avatar

@The stranger Let me verse for your lost brain:

A stranger in these long nights,

where stars grow thin, n trace their fading lights

flinch at every clinking sound that bars, the quiet.

Some ghost in my lost brain sings

of all the lost-n-found, forgotten things.

A brain that's lost its map,

it lets the old grief nap…

n in the dark, a familiar space is cast at last.

Wow! Such an interesting concept, the verses blend so well with each other and how this didn’t overwhelm each poet’s own voice. Incredible work, good job everyone, I applaud you all💗💌

Yes didn't expect it to turn out this well the first time. And people keep amazing me. Voices blend together, while each is audible like you said.

Thank you ♥️🫶🏾
