Blazed Spectacle

S prawled beneath a line of stars, bright
P ulsating in varnished luster
E ndless jewels gleam, to ignite
C radled breaths as skylines flicker,
T eetering on mid evening’s hue...
A nd neon fireworks dash in a glide,
C lusters waltzing in blazed revue
U nmatched by shadows that divide;
L ight of moonglow, black of wind-streams
A s flashed novas explode up high,
R eeling on, till blinks fade..goodbye.

This is a sparkling poem and I like how spectacular the metaphors go--"Light of moonglow, black of wind-streams."

This makes me starry-eyed as your dazzling poem glows with lustrous diction, then drifts off softly in the end. A fave on my short list!
