read write poem napowrimo day 18 light bulb moments. introduction of a word éclat. your poem should express the emotions that grip you as you experience your “shock” moment; photo: titanium taurus tracker 44 magnum snub nose, Willie Lunchmeat, flickr
dormant lies a secret
shadowy silly story
no one knows at all
a hundred details
big and small sentiments
retrospective reluctance
almost expressed aloud
with little hesitation
but nope not yet can’t
but if you really want to know here’s the story
Oh….this was certainly a shock poem.Thanks for the story background.
Truly shocking.

Good poem. I like the rhymes.
They call it cold steel, but it never is.
This is really powerful. There is a tension here between what seems like a sinister secret and the lack of a will to bring it to light.
Very god poem 🙂
