Long Delphinus Poems

as on the canvas of the sky
with pictures, bold and intricate,
each night they speak without a word.

Ancient stargazers sketched the signs
that God arranged among the stars.
They traced the circuit...

Favorite Carolyn Devonshire Poem

History Rising from the Sea

Treasure from the sea
Golden doubloon
Sixteenth century artifact
By ancestors hewn

Earth's history lays buried
Beneath five oceans
As undersea tremors
Create violent commotions

Freeing from Spanish galleons
Precious metals, gemstones,
To greet early beachcombers
History on loan

Here’s a starry poem one might call ekphrastic

Wandering far from home;
When I could stand and stare at the stars
Silently, on my own.
Head uplifted, eyes open wide;
Points of light eternal
Racing through darkness 
Into my eyes.
Desiring nothing

I miss you
I miss you Mother Earth
Your gentle winds have taken me
To journey beyond the stars
I miss your kiss
Your new growth
Your green horizons and
Scarlet seared sunsets

I cross my hands and
Gently place them against
My beating heart
I...

The greatest tent with its sparkling light,
the ultimate show of all tonight.
Bears, Scorpions, Bulls, Lions and Crab,
are some of the creatures on the twinkling map.
Aquarians, Librans and Gemini in the air,
while Sagittarians shoot those arrows...

hemisphere, had heard rumors of the glorious adventures of 
Orion, Fornax and Phoenix from talkative sky travelers.

“You can believe us, “ the sky travelers told them. ...

I have flown on wings of dreams, but I never could land well
I've never been to the end of a rainbow and I've never talked to an angel
I could never reach the fleeing horizons and...

Love forever eludes me perhaps because it flies on angelic wings
And yet my earth bound body is beneath the weight of gravity
Its like following a rainbow to an end I'll never see
Or like chasing the...

Once there were billions of them; dotting our night skies; stars.
So few are seen today; thanks to smog and city lights.
Back then, I thought they were Gods eyes; not heavenly bodies.

There are many constellations; formed...

A dot to dot for all to see
Rotating across the world
Everyone see's it differently
Depends which way you're twirled
You can play even in slippers

I connect Orion to his belt
Trace a mighty Leo's mane
Draw Hercules with his...
