Checking the Night Sky

Neville

Checking the Night Sky

 

Quite unlike any other

man made

or farm furrowed field ..

Her brow,

ridged deep and set

like some

rare stone silvered ..

Yet held

more firmly and high

above those

matched arches proud ..

Indeed,

each orb a special blue ..

Perfectly

aligned and celebrated

in night skies,

around the globe, just like

I am doing now ..

But throughout all of history ..

    There's some giant asteroid thingy passing by Earth tonight (Tues) I think it is. About a million miles or more away from us though (phew).
    Meanwhile - can I meet her?! lol.

      Faced with endurance those ridges seen with poetic vision glow like jewels within this prose-piece of personified skill -- a pleasure as always Nev. to re-read and guess your clever inferences in this night-sky tribute of perception's alliterative treat............x

        Ooh err, did I do all that, my word .. then I happily plead guilty m lady ...................... thank you Fay 🙂 x

        poetry like fine wine, needs to age
        so its juices can blossom
        into a deeper, velvet of subtly nuanced
        flavour,
        I imagine, upon reading this
        for the tenth time
        I'll glean a hundred percent, more
        of its poetic, sublime...
        (love the flow
        and that, smack in the face
        last line)
        just more of your poetic elegance
        showcasing itself, once again
        dear Poet

          You do realise 1) I aint ever gonna be able to pay you back dont'cha
          2) the cheque I sent yesterday will probably bounce
          3) I really do appreciate your ongoing support
          4) they really ought to make it easier to format these responses
          5) I aint kidding when I said up there I that I appreciate your support
          6) Cheers ..................................... Neville 🙂

            lmao
            (forgive me, my overzealous enthusiasm
            can be overwhelmingly irritating, to some
            just let me know, before
            I push you too far and you get annoyed
            so I can do me best to tone it down;
            for some reason
            the fool in me, just can't seem to do it
            unless prompted)
            and bounced cheques are always fun
            as 'keepy uppy' practise
            while learning, to juggle life..

            A beautiful imagery
            Woven in nature
            Woven with fantasy in my dreams
            As if a dream was painted
            Lost in the jewel studded in sky
            So was the deep poetry that you laid in those lines
            So surreal

            • Neville



              again, you spoil me spiller & I am truly grateful to you my friend ....................... N x

            • Rozina

                what a wonderfully written, image filled poem, with a bit of mystical intrigue...beautifully done!

                • Neville



                  thank you my friend, what a treat to find your heart-warming & otherwise encouraging little note on arriving back home this evening & before my bedtime mug of cocoa ... 🙂 Neville

                  • GypsyLady

                      The night sky is so wonderful and the moon overseeing our lives is so special within them.
                      Did you howl at the wolf moon this week? LOL

                      Andy
