Day 29 of NaPoWriMo.

My poem

A quatrain, from a Poetizer prompt.

Ghost parade

Ghost parade in the night
Seeking souls with which to unite
On the streets, marching through
Trying to find a host to use

Acquainted with the Night

by Robert Frost

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain — and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right
I have been one acquainted with the night.
