Connie Marcum Wong Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Celestial Seas

Celestial Seas

An anointing beam blazes from
     breathtaking cosmos clusters
illuminating indigo skies 
     in the blissful birth of night.

Serenity rules in a captivating 
     vivid view of mountain,
sky and lake with silver stars 
     diamond dotted upon a
mirror mirage of a languid lake.

Musings soar into the heavens
     unencumbered by restraints
of Gaia’s gravitational mass.
     They soar with the speed of 
thought into empyrean’s eternity.

Greg Gaul July 19, 2019 at 4:13 PM Congrats on your well crafted piece and award. I noted the repeating use of repeating first letters and sounds throughout the poem. An interesting and effective device. Connie Marcum Wong July 19, 2019 at 6:17 PM You are very observant Greg. Thank you for such a lovely insightful comment. xxoo : )

Janis Medders Tobechi July 3, 2019 at 4:06 PM Love the words "speed of thought". Captivating language that tempts the imagination. Congratulations.
