Notes About The Poem

Breathtaking Nova

B eneath the cloudline shines one star that greets
R adiant flames with a murmured drawl,
E ager to shimmer on, yet dusk time fleets
A s winds peal their ballad to enthrall…
T ill glints the orchid like a jewel
H eavenly in the amber of light,
T eetering near the edge for a hued flight
A nd pearl its brightness reaching star’s cell …
K iln of glitter spreads on a marquee, where
I ridescence leaps its twinkling climb…
N ever a sight this breathless , this rare
G lorious oh nova and bloom… sublime!
