Notes About The Poem

Spectacular Skies

Scene of such grand pageantry, men flock to view in legions.
Phenomenon to behold in most Northern of Earth's regions.
Energies of atmospheric particles meet and burst in collision
Creating the most illustrious spectacle dancing into my vision.
Trails, as if rising to Heaven, glowing phosphorous apparition.
Aurora Borealis;  cascades of light stretching across the skies
Curl and wave in beauteous rhapsody before awestruck eyes.
Under guise of king and queen,  they dance as pawns look on.
Luminous waltzing monarchs on their chess board until dawn.
Alluring colors blending, shades of red, purple, green and blue,
Radiant aura painted by the hand of God, a gift for me and you.

Your poem lights up its reader my friend. Under guise of king and queen, they dance as pawns look on. "Luminous waltzing monarchs on their chess board until dawn. Alluring colors blending, shades of red, purple, green and blue, Radiant aura painted by the hand of God, a gift for me and you." ^^^^ Pure gold!!!!!! A7
