Paulette Calasibetta Poet Quintain (English)

Trigon

Dangling from a horizon in amber hues,

                        Venus illuminates the southern sky,

                     Veiled in mottled shades of steely blue.

       In the west, the moon looks out, from the corner of her eye,

           A symphonic moment, when the sun arises and bestrides.






Title reference: A Trigon is an ancient Greek stringed instrument in a triangular shape.
Definition for: “Bestrides”: To dominate

Anselmo Boles January 26, 2022 at 1:21 PM Like what Pythagoras, the great Greek philosopher-scientist said; "MUSIC OF THE SPHERES". Musical tones vibrated by the planets and the sun that aren't audible but could be heard by the soul. Captivating!!...ab Paulette Calasibetta January 26, 2022 at 2:58 PM Your comment is more poetic than mine! Thank you for stopping by and hearing the symphonic morning concert! :) Paulette
