Ah Dr Sotto, congratulations on your well deserved win, you always write in such a deeply intriguing manner that leaves readers in awe inspired and captivated by the depth of your words woven in such eloquence. I love so many lines especially the astral theme that is so very ethereal. “ Venus continues her romance brought me her prized assets“ love that the most and also “ drape of wings and sapphire plume, designed bespoke by the Seraphim“ wow! The alliterations and diction here is impeccable

A brilliant creation we are privileged to observer and be a part of my friend. I too, would like to seize it as it whizzed by. What a journey we could have exposed to the speed and beauty of the entire universe. Your vocabulary is exquisite as always and imagery painted a luminescent picture for us to see and feel. Thanks for sharing your gift of poetry with us. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

The firmament as seen through the illustrious eyes of a true poet, (a sempiternal empyreal cherubic niche) I hope one day I can seize one too, if I can see through our not so diaphanous light pollution, brilliant writing and diction as always, cheers David

So ethereal and almost seems like I'm in a twilight zone. I am haunted by your verses. The whole poem is breathtaking.

If cosmic showers are as beautiful as meteor showers, I'm all in. I love this planetary poem with all of it's otherworldly descriptions.
