Skylark

The heavens, their stage;
spotlights of sunrays.
Soaring angelic chorus.
Ballerina dance,
their movements enhanced
by beautiful songs of love.
A sweet lullaby
drifts down from the sky.
Performance demands a hush.
Entranced, we are now,
as they take their bow.
Mother Earth's mobile for us.

this one was quite good. I am surprised it is not in top ten. Congrats, dear. (oh, i see he knocked off points for syllable count. I did not even notice. It read very nice)

Very nice, Arlene. Mother earth's mobile for us. I do like that. I liked the melody of this one and the rhymes flew like the wings of the Skylark. Truly enjoyed it.... Robert.
