Twinkle

Lay on the grass
Stare at the sky
The night is a blanket
Full of mystery
Like love
Like you
Lay, my love
Gaze at me
I twinkle
Upon you
I am the last
Shining stellar
In this asterism

Author's Note

asterism: a group of stars

[Eddie Davis]

Very nice, another poem with carefully chosen words that flow beautifully. I took a Latin class in High School, so sometimes the Latin root of specific words hint at their meaning, as was the case in asterism, but it still wasn't a word I have ever used or encountered until today. This word of a day poetry challenge is a wonderful idea, and you are certainly shining like a nova in an asterism with your skill at words. (See, I used that word for the very first time in a sentence!) It is a joy to read your poetry, Dhaye.

Thank you, Eddie.

this is so darn romantic...sometimes we ignore love when it is sparkling in the sky right next to us...

and we must take advantage and pluck that star out of the sky...but we often disregard, and galaxies pass by us.

Thank you, sir j.
