Shytown The streets are empty quietly the confidences shout Night falls as inhibitions grow courage imbibed in corner bars wall flowers grow as the music quickens in Shytown Suddenly people appear screaming yet the streets are silent They hide in corners of their dreams Long shadows of the darkest night lurking to find the meek as dancers become bold and brave These lonesome souls plodding in the dark The stars vibrate, winking faintly fiery skies in their minds Dreams are their sanctuaries in Shytown �Dale CJ Clark

This is most insightful. Shytown sleeps while the human spirit retreats in the shadows screaming its fear.

This write expresses the individual fear and alienation that colors in a larger sense modern life as a whole. We live in the shadows, "the streets are silent"-yet inwardly we are screaming and retreat into dreams. Always a haunting quality to your place writes.
You see beneath the veneer and bring the inner reality to the surface. Grand write, Dale!

An exceptional construction of undiluted emotion and psychological insight--a SHYTOWN made of poetry. The metaphor, dramatization of inner realities, and fluidity of language form a brilliant work of art.

Time to make those dreams become reality Dale
As they say " Faint heart never won fair lady "!
Introspective and circumspect pen
