Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Star of David

*Image of Star of David by ClipArt. Star of David
Ah!
These
stars, for
they all seem
to wedge the whole
nighttide tract of our perpetual sphere's vaulted ceiling, that
lingers on their ambiguous tethered strings, consumed
by a grand dark expanse beyond where imagination
lays their vast secrets, and inspirations dares a
peek, while aspirant souls ventures a quest to
scope a noble claim, and bestowed a fame but,
beware for a twinkle will cause one to blink, for 'twas
an alternate reality, one that is earthbound perchance be a
different sort of star
'twas saved, dates
from past, a gift
be his name
David,

Hi William. Just want to pitch in - content of this Davis poem is phenomenal. Several plus magnificent sounding word combinations. Gripping, you create very tangible scenarios from an ethereal concept. Star format makes this egsample shine and shout your genius.
