Sotto Poet Poet Free verse

Stardust Tames Me

Written: December 29, 2025, for contest sponsored by: Nette Onclaud 

                ************

Stardust, bathed in alabaster light, thrills.
Sultry tales whisper through pearlescent hush,
as a sharp dance of dreams breaks the dark.
Mellifluous skies sweep on sparkling fields,
a delicate crown forged from fragile hopes.
Soft carols sound in the shades of struggle,
unsure frets fade—jubilee grow, untamed.
