Comet's Scrawl

Darkness falls lame broken by the full moon tattered by clarity. Constellations burn branding blue satin. Comets scrawl blank verse Planets pulse ripely. The painter stirs the paint pots a single tone sounds.

Man I love this thing. It reminds me of a couple of things, 1)" the dewdrop slips into the shining sea, a thousand flowers bloom" Tibetan Buddhist chant, and 2) e.e.cummings poem "In the middle of a room, a portion here: (a moon swims out of a cloud a clock strikes midnight a finger pulls a trigger a bird flies into a mirror) Your poems put you in awesome company.

Pretty stanzas...the american choka runs as that and considered acceptable... driven by the original far eastern choka standards. Your poem is thrilling.
