Brian Baumgarn Poet Couplet

December Skies

Of cold and clear December skies,
and wisplike clouds with deep, blue eyes.
Full moon adrift with stars in tow,
bright sheen and twinkle, night in flow.

We savor this night's arcing sweep
while strolling near our earthly keep,
surveying vast, celestial spheres
to learn your secrets, so austere.

We stand and ponder heaven's glow
now sharing light with earth below.
Is vast long night and sleep our prize;
are moon and stars omniscient, wise?

Oh, moon and stars set on your course
we ask you roveal your source,
and share enigmas from the deep
while we wait quietly for sleep.

Full moon you seem in all ways wise.
are stars the tears that night skies cry?
December night's supernal show
a calming scene, a fine tableau.

                               December Skies
                               12-6-14

Trevor Mcleod March 4, 2015 at 1:21 PM Nicely done Brian. I liked your choice of words in this. Very poetic indeed. The flow could be slightly better but your meanings and expressions really make the poem interesting to read. I enjoyed it much. Thanks Brian. Trevor Brian Baumgarn April 17, 2015 at 1:46 AM Thanks for commenting on December Skies, Trevor. I just found out how to reply to comments, LOL. You are perceptive. This was originally 3 stanzas to fit with paint onto a photograph I liked of a winter night sky. Later, I added two more stanzas and that did change the flow some. Thanks for the comment, Trevor!!
