David Kavanagh Poet Monorhyme

City of Streetlights

I remember stark beautiful nights
       Blue nebulae, stars shining bright 
      Constellations, mind-bending sights 
      Brilliant moonshine, rising in height 
      And then ascended, our fuzzy lights
     Heaven vanished, perhaps took flight

Kim Rodrigues November 23, 2021 at 3:53 PM To see the skies without earth’s lights is to step back in time ~ whoa ***** David Kavanagh November 23, 2021 at 8:39 PM A step back into my memories Kim, a fuzzy haze has become my new norm, city life, cheers David

Paulette Calasibetta November 23, 2021 at 2:26 PM To witness an illuminated night sky is breathtaking~it is a shame that it is so diminished by the comings and goings of humankind. I really enjoyed reading your monorhyme, beautifully penned! Blessings, Paulette David Kavanagh November 23, 2021 at 2:37 PM Thank you so much Paulette, only when on holiday away from the city do I ever get a chance to witness the majesty of the night sky in all its glory, but I should think myself lucky in some city’s around the world they cannot see the sun the atmosphere is so polluted, cheers David

Tom Cunningham November 23, 2021 at 9:00 AM To see the wonders of the sky you have to venture out to the back of beyond, a shame that kids in the cities will probably never see the beauty of the night sky in all its glory. Tom David Kavanagh November 23, 2021 at 9:22 AM So right Tom, we used to know most of the constellations and planets as kids, they wouldn’t have a clue today, not their fault just city expansion, and light pollution, cheers David

Gary Radice November 23, 2021 at 6:23 AM Light pollution has so much to answer for. Lovely write. David Kavanagh November 23, 2021 at 9:19 AM Really is a shame Gary, I think my little monorhyme proves how much I miss the night sky, cheers David
