Canvas Not One Sees

Sun holds violet dream Under the rim— stars hung high Blink at a new moon.

Dear Paige, your heavenly haiku captures the luster and magic of the celestial bodies that we wish upon, dream upon, create myths upon and cast our imagination upon to create a poetic gem such as this. The stars are in awe and so am I. Splendid imagery! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Transferring stars to canvas, I like it. We are required to provide the blinking.It’s not easy writing short forms. You seem to have a knack for it.

Nature gives us so many reasons to write doesn't it? Moonlight is 1 of my favorite things. I want to "blink" at the moon tonight after reading your poem. Over a lake the moon creates a path that I can follow, not now but tomorrow. Your poem makes me think of a line I remember from somewhere, "Two things can tear my heart in two, moonlight on still ponds and you" I enjoyed the images your poem brought me, can you tell? So pleased to read this one.
