Poem -
STARRY NIGHT
A star studded sky twinkling like diamonds
on a black velvet cape
The milky way our galaxy, an arch surrounding the earth
like a protective arm of light
The moon bright, sending translucent beams of light
shimmering on still waters
Comets soaring with tails like bright firecrackers,
that disappear but return through the ages
Venus our sister planet its beauty as the goddess
a majestic brightness, seen by the naked eye
The night sky a fascinating show stopping spectacle
of illumination through nature
The universe in all its wonder beautiful
in its vast never ending cosmic glory
Inspired by Tony Taylor`s" Night Surfer"

Hi Rose Thank you so much for your
kind words i`m so glad you enjoyed
this one, love n hugs Debs
Hi our Dear Debs,
Wow! You took me to the stars on this one. When we look to the sky, we are viewing history, because it can take a thousand or two thousand years for the light of the stars to reach us. I'm sure they hold the secrets of mankind. Your title is also very interesting, because it is the same one that Van Gogh used on what many believe was his last painting before he took his life. Who knows what he saw when he looked up to them? Also, a nice tribute to Tony.
Hugs, Peace and Love,
xox Larry
Hi Larry lovely comments Thank you for them!
Although the poem was inspired buy Tony`s
"Night Surfer" The title i choose was from the the song
Vincent sung by Don Mclean about Van Gogh way back in the early
70s and the first words are Starry Starry Night
Thanks again my friend love n hugs Debs xox
Such a delightful work which truly deserves all the praise it has received.
Wonderful !
Warmest wishes ! :)
Hi Richard Thank you very much
