Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Pellucid Skies

Vermilion accents infuse twilight
 As a menagerie of birds take flight

 Mockingbirds sing their song on the wing
 Rhythmic ripples, to the dusk they cling

 Hearts filled with emotions await love's luscious present
  as pellucid skies with starry intent
 Twinkle love's aroma as frangipani shrubs spread their scent

Heavenly bodies, when their constellations permit,
 Traverse ancestral beliefs of Zeus's myth
 Flickering in the sky as messages they emit
                            ~
