Notes About The Poem

Contest- Stardust Serenade-Sponsor- Robert James Liquori-3/26/26

Stardust Serenade

Shadows beget shadows
stretching through the twilight
as the night arrives with its starry night
offering an ethereal tranquility...to our souls
    allowing all our worries to disburse
as we look into the longing eyes of love
    on a romantic flight
that crosses the boundary of boundless beauty
    prisoners beneath a million stars
where dreamers dream of romantic rustlings of wonder
caressed by the musical majesty of the hearts grace
    measured by their beating tempo
inspired by the quiet hush of the undisturbed sky
    that takes us far, far from Earth
to a magical realm of tender yearning 
and passionate rapture...fleeting as starlight
to be a lasting memory, held like a precious jewel

A lot is going on in this serenade of a poem. Subtle use of alliteration. I was enraptured all the way thru to the end. A love song. Thanks for sharing. Very worthy POTD.

" held like a precious jewel" ah that last line and the way as always youv painted imagery is so very romantic and heartfelt, your way with words always make me dream away in awe leaving me wanting to read more! Your poem is seamless, soul warming and beautiful! I especially love "caressed by the musical majesty of the hearts grace measured by their beating tempo" how mellifluous! A fave it is! Pleasure reading you today dear frederick. Sending you light always! Best wishes
