Hold Up the Sky

Sorrow-eyed, harp in hand began to chant a tale. Like gossamer threads dulcet whispers waver near evening gale; swarms in cunning swirls and whorls and drawn at the edge then wake trailing off with the morning dawn. Softness of water silk falling into a mere sigh warm embrace within the dim as it holds up the sky. 3/20/2019 Poetry Contest: Pick A Title, Vol. 2 - Rhyme - 4.

A lovely sky-prop. I love the idea of the, "water silk"; I can see it flowing, crystalline light rolling across the sky. Best of luck in the contest.

Eve, this sounds like it is straight from Coleridge's pen, and he, my dear, is my all-time favorite poet, so I adore this one! Good luck in the contest, my friend. I expect to see this rise to the top with the rest of the cream.
