John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Starkle Starkle Little Twink

Starkle, Starkle Little Twink


Starkle, starkle little twink
what the hell you are, I think
tantalizing hanging moon
rocking chair or empty spoon.

Twinkle, twinkle, ain’t you cute
glitter on night’s darkest suit,
jewels upon an evening’s gown
tiara mate to kingly crown.

Needle point of heaven’s face
pinholes poked in deepest space
eyes that watch us from afar
twinkle, twinkle, little star.
