Night Sky I

NIGHT SKY I

night sky
    big dipper
        little dipper
            wet feet
                starry eyes

night sky
    clear as a bell
        shooting star
                        ding!

night sky
    moon
        big and orange
            zoom in    zoom away

night sky
    gadzillion stars
        midnight express

M. Hussain Effendi May 8, 2012 at 11:13 PM This reminds me how long it has been since I've gazed up in the sky at night, and I can't wait until dark now after reading this beautiful peace. Thank you, sir.

Elizabeth Wesley May 8, 2012 at 9:54 AM Davey lad, these astral things leave me spellbound, you found the night and gave it to me in the most amazing way.

Michelle Mac Donald May 7, 2012 at 8:44 PM If I had a decent singing voice I'd try to sing this out into the night, Daver! But alas, I think if I tried I'd only wake up every dog in the neighbourhood.:) Lots happening here, this is so very clear and visual. Like this a whole bunch!! Love, Mikki
