The Stars Have Had It With Me

The Stars Have Had It with Me

Oh, No!
Orion came here last night in a fury!
And wow, he took me to task!
I cannot repeat the words he said to me.
Alas, not even is jest!

But he warned me, in a saturnine 
way, to grow rhapsodically!
And to stop using he and stars in the
constellation, so endlessly, poetically.

Oh, inside, I was quite choleric!
I tried in vain to explain, that stars
and even butterflies,
Are the bedrock of many poems.
Alas, not any sympathy was I shown!

At which point,Orion had it with me.
And in a kaleidoscopic mantle,disappeared!
With a shimmering gold dictionary and silvered thesaurus, Orion has left for me.
There...In the moonshine ever so gleaming
Under the arms of a loving evergreen tree.

I will follow Orion's advice 
Discover topics truly meaningful~
And put the word "stars" on ice!
Using English words, I hope...
That are truly lovely and purposeful.
