Spente Le Stelle

Star glimpses on heaven's embers mistify. -I was listening to Emma Shapplin's song, "Spente Le Stelle", and was inspired to write this. In classical Italian, it means "The Stars Have Gone Out". -

The song sung in classical opera style is wonderful. No wonder it inspired you to write such a beautiful haiku. Well done.

This is such an impressive metaphor. I can see how the phrase in Italian came about. It's like if we said in English, the Stars are spent. I like how close Italian is to Spanish, which I studied in college. Great job here.
