Midnight Hush, by Padmini Krishnan

midnight hush
echoes of the last train
in the tracks

Padmini, I am lured into the intrigue of your mystic scene. Well done!

I heard the sound of silence as the wheels screeched to a halt and the engine shut down.

An echo of the passing train when the night comes on that heightens the hush, never really dies away, just like the sacred mantra you chant all day and the incantation runs on when you fall asleep! You know how to create maximum effect with minimum means, Padmini.

You have put it very well, Swapan. Thank you very much for reading and commenting on my work.

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Poetry Submissions Page.
