I’ll Say It Again (and Again and Again)

The Stars and Me
I thought I saw the stars wink at me
As if they knew my secret
I thought I heard the stars whisper
As if they might be gossiping
I thought I felt the stars hopping
As if they could share my joy
I thought I whiffed the scent of stardust
As if the stars were blooming
And so I turned my face up
To the sky and blew the stars
A kiss
I Want To Know
How the moon learned
to shine
Why planets don’t
get dizzy – spinning
What the stars do
during the day
Where clouds find
rain and snow
Who whispers to
the wind
When you knew
you
loved
me

d’Verse Poets Pub – OpenLink Night #186
Listen October –
Why are you Golden-
Why are days Shorter-
Where is the Sun-
What do you say – eh?
Here says the Sun –
Just behind Clouds-
Just farther Away-
Still your bright Star-
Still shining above.
Night’s Glittering stars-
Show me the Bear-
Show me some Sisters-
Show me the Hunter
Look up – said the Sky

When you live in cloudy Western Pennsylvania you think you’ve seen a sky full of stars, but you haven’t. It was on a trip to the high desert of Arizona that I saw the true wonder of a clear night with no pollution from shopping malls and street lights. A magnificent show that covered the sky from edge to edge.

blanket of clouds
removed from the night sky
thousand points of light
as dusk pulls open the
dark curtain of
a summer night
flashes of light rise up
from the grassy stage
signaling messages of love
in the stillness while
stars twinkle brightly
in perfect accompaniment
from my front row seat
I clap with joy, watching
this magical light show
put on by
Heaven & Earth Productions

Poetic Bloomings July PAD #2
she always closed her eyes
when wishing on a star
she could not bear the scar
if there were only lies
some planet in disguise
bold, shameless avatar
she always closed her eyes
when wishing on a star
she did not realize
the moon strummed a guitar
hummed love songs from afar
with tender moonbeam sighs –
she always closed her eyes

Today at d’Verse Poets Pub, Gayle from Bodhirose has challenged us to write a Rondel
Meeting the Bar; the Rondel
vast spent stars of darkest ink
I think
are hiding in the deep of night
they might
have given up their glow
just flow
above us here below
keeping wishes we have made
upon them till they’d fade
I think they might just flow

De is tending bar at the pub and has challenged us to try our hand at an Ovillejo
Check it out at d’Verse Poets
we spread a blanket
on the ground
lay down to feel
the world go round
to watch the showy
stars of night
go dancing by-
squeal with delight
to toast celestial
bodies glow
with bread and cheese
and fine pinot
the clouds were heavy
in the sky
they cloaked the stars
from human eye
but we saw stars
in spite of this
we found them in
a moonless kiss
