Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

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.

M. L. Kiser March 21, 2019 at 1:01 PM 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 Roper March 21, 2019 at 1:07 PM Thank you, my friend. Hugs Eve ~`*

Caren Krutsinger March 21, 2019 at 3:13 AM 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!
