Nights

Necklace around heaven, 
nose drinks from studded chill,
no fallen seed where she
named raven in her stars;
needless brooms how wash tears,
nor nightingale feat this
nigh movement in Sun's cast

This is starlight woven into verse--enigmatic and mesmerizing. "Named raven in her stars" and "necklace around heaven" are such striking, mythic images. It reads like a spell whispered to the night itself.

Night is a ' Necklace around heaven. ' I never thought about it in that way. So mysterious, yet magical and spiritual all at the same time. My best to you, Paige. :) Hugs, Brandy

I am thinking this one is not for my contest since I didn't give night as one of the titles so I can read it. I agree with Charlotte. This is certainly intriguing and deep. Just as the night is.

Great comments. Writing Pleiades is not as easy as one thinks. I wrote a few, but I seem to have lost interest.

Your poetry is deep. Read twice and still contemplating. Nice Pleiades. Must be a contest seeing a lot of these
