Frances Schiavina Poet Verse

Meteors

sky
                                                 silent
                                             velvet black
                                        pinpoints of lights
                                        from faraway stars
                                        rhythmically falling

                                  streaking lights across sky
                                       sparkling vanishing
                                       diamond rock balls
                                              exploding
                                               star dust
                                                  glow

Jan Allison September 5, 2021 at 4:22 PM what wonderful imagery Frances I love stargazing when we have a clear sky and a meteor shower can be so spectacular:-) hugs Jan xx

Susan Ashley September 2, 2021 at 12:53 PM Dear Frances, your imagery is dazzling and dramatic! I adore falling stars and admire your mastery at capturing them in your celestial poem. Congratulations for your excellent win in Mala’s contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Sam Kauffman September 1, 2021 at 10:58 AM Frances, you have created an amazing picture of the silence of space and the thunderous movement of "diamond rock balls" exploding into star dust that echo though the galaxy. It is quiet and explosive all at once. Opposites beautifully expressed. Will never look at meteors in quite the same way again! Congratulations for your win. Blessings of wishing stars to you!

Paul Callus September 1, 2021 at 12:33 AM Your imagery is certainly "heavenly", Frances! I hope you remembered to make a wish or two :) ~ Congratulations on your fine win. Regards // paul
