Under
the Stars
The cobalt sky has many eyes;
they're brightest just before
sunrise
as starlight.
Sprinkled amidst the indigo
we stop to let the sandman
sow
his stardust.
Glittering `cross the
peaceful night
we view a shooting star take
flight;
we're starstruck.
The sky becomes a starlit
show
as sea reflects its silver
glow,
so starbright.
In awe we kiss and say
goodnight.
I watch as you walk from my
sight,
soft . . . starlit.

Love the "star" theme you have going on here. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Poppy. This form is called a Compound Verse created by a friend Margaret Smith. Blessings, Connie
DeleteLove this poem, Connie, especially how you use the colors of cobalt and indigo and end with that "soft starlight" moment. Lovely. Thank you for sharing and continued blessings!

Beautifully done, Connie! This Compound Word Verse form is not as easy as it looks, but you have tackled it with confidence. ~ Regards ~~ paul
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul, guess the form was not included. I love Margaret Smith's form, but you are right it is a bit of a challenge to come up with all the compound words in the third lines. Marg used to post all the time at PFT but she is unable to post right now. I miss her talented poems. Blessings, Connie
DeleteI liked the way you used "star" throughout. Very well done.
