Stars

Patterned like lace in space Braided reflections of light Adorn the mystic night With elegance and grace. Attracting from high above They capture the mind and amaze The hearts of those who gaze And fall in love. ---------------------------------------------- Contest: Theme #1-STARS-(OLD POEMS) Sponsor: Skat A ~ Dec 2015 Placed 4th Author: Paul Callus ~ 26th June 2014 Contest: Shine with your Naani Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Placed: 4th
