Night Sky's Party

 
"The sky prepares the sun for night
Where drifting clouds are slowly steeping
In tepid pools of waning light"

As the earth gets ready for sleeping
The moon comes out from its hiding place
Where drifting clouds are slowly steeping

The sun says goodbye with setting grace
And stars join the party of the sky
The moon comes out from its hiding place

The wind slowly dances feeling shy
Murmuring whispers to the night shade
And stars join the party of the sky

Wondering why this passion must fade
She delights herself with lamps glowing
Murmuring whispers to the night shade

All darkened time seems to be slowing
The sky prepares the sun for night
She delights herself with lamps glowing
In tepid pools of waning light

Let the party begin Jo! Thank you for the invitation to celebrate this poetic gem! Wonderful images and personification of the moon, sun, stars and wind. Love "the moon comes out from its hiding place," "wind slowly dances feeling shy." Such creative word pictures. Congratulations on your win! Blessings! Party on!!

A lovely Terzanelle. Like the villanelle I find them hard to compose. You did very well with the chosen stanza.
