Night Sky Sings

The night sky sings a melody Well-known musical, heavenly, Hauntingly a refrain in time Nestling in chords purely sublime A show tune sang so prettily. Stars twinkling lyrics randomly The moon hums bass line jazzily, I added a new verse in rhyme The night sky sings. The song becomes a rhapsody Filling my heart with utter glee The Northern Star added a chime, Making my happy spirit climb Suddenly, I’m feeling so free, The night sky sings. Written June 1, 2022

Very nicely done. I can almost hear the music in this one. I wonder have you ever tried the big brother to this style? It's called A "Rondea Redouble" I have 1. It was one of the first I posted here.

I have, Charles, perhaps two or three of them. I love the form. I have read your poem about sailing the seven seas. It is one of my FAVES now. You are an enormously talented poet, and I am delighted that you have read and commented on something I wrote. Stay in touch, please.
