Lin Lane Poet Verse

This Nebula Night

Expectant eyes searched dark sullen skies
Stellar starlight was dim this nebula night
The mourning moon in silent swoon
donned sorrow's shroud beneath a cosmic cloud
Her vibrant veil, faintly frail
Brilliant beams became stygian streams
Then dawn danced as aurora* advanced

Tom Cunningham December 2, 2021 at 1:16 PM Nothing more beautiful than the night sky in all its glory Lin. Your last line is the grand finale. Good luck in the contest. Hope your week is going well Tom Lin Lane December 2, 2021 at 2:48 PM I'm so pleased by your thoughts on this one, Tom. I toyed with the last line for some time, but this one appealed to me the most, as it did to you. I removed it from the contest, after being reminded that photos were supplied for inspiration. None of the photos were of a nebula. lol Senility approaches? Thank you.
