Notes About The Poem

this poem was written for an online poetry class assignment:

"write a pantoum poem based upon this image"

STARLIGHT'S WALTZ

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starlight spins on silver feet, a pirouette of whispered beams. Moon croons low, its rhythm sweet, and time dissolves in liquid dreams. A pirouette of whispered beams, the night unfolds its velvet gown. And time dissolves in liquid dreams— the cosmos twirls, unbound. The night unfolds its velvet gown. Shadows dip in fleeting grace. The cosmos twirls, unbound Light and dark embrace in space. Shadows dip in fleeting grace. Moon croons low, its rhythm sweet. Light and dark embrace in space. Starlight spins on silver feet.
