Starry Charm

Umbrella of stars hangs lucent in the sky

Flickering by as nightbirds trill the wing

One moment when hill tops wait on standby

To relish the charm of dusk, awakening.

And this blissful scenery becomes mine

Where memorials of walk take me awhile,

Into a parade of light with blinks divine

As evening’s sari wears a lovely smile.



UFO Contest of Robert Heemstra

Cyndi Macmillan Date: 4/25/2013 7:57:00 PM Yes, there is something so ethereal about the sari, so ... captivating. I'm zonked! Hubby has been working his casual job as well as his full time, so he is just as exhausted. I've been CONSUMED by writing a crown of sonnets, and have spent about 17 hours on it, so far, lol! What was I thinking!!!! I am working on the closing sonnet and struggling. When this is done, I may try another, but not for a bit. 98 lines, flow? AWK! LOL, happy weekend to you, hon...allergies okay? HUGS!!! xox Cyndi Login to Reply
