found a dead bluebird on my street
gently picked her up with tears
buried her in God's firmament so soft
noticed her shimmering soul, fly aloft

tangerine sunset
                                   firmament beyond splendor

When I Think

When I think of how far light gets bent 
knocking about in the firmament;  
it is remarkable 
that, though so unstable, 
it still 'ons' my lamp and pays my rent.

Doves of Stars, a Tanka For New Year's Eve

feather light, sky bright
kite high in the firmament
the white doves of stars;
mystically, mistily
whispering our yesterdays

Firmament Quality


Nativity scene so holy
Mother holding newborn babe
of perfect soul purity

Host of heaven singing joyously,
an angelic sound 
of glowing firmament quality

Premium Member A Flock of Crows

Over lambent plains
of blond wheat,
braided spikes
rustling
in flaxen breeze,
a flock of crows
seesaws
like obsidian scythes
in cider firmament
under harvest sun's afternoon eye.

Premium Member A Blithe Half Moon

the half moon, content
with itself...though incomplete
it grins, nonetheless

high up in the cold
starless, pitch-black firmament
yet blithely smiling

Space Men

They touched the sky like gods
And broke the great firmament
Then beyond
Riding on thunder and fire 
To see the stars as they are
And live between worlds
Received by Apollo, who
Is lonelier than we thought

Premium Member Silent Prayers

Listen to poem:
Faithful few
Filled the 
Firmament with
Fundamental fervour
Finally finding, through
Fastidious fellowship,
Future fanatical friends and
Fulfilling the fine frequency
Favourable for forgiveness.
Finally.

Painted Sunset

Fireball descends.
Sunlight imprints brilliant hues.
The firmament glows.

Love

Love
is like lively rivulets 
meandering through
valleys and meadows
merging into the sea,
like myriad stars
illuminating the heavens
dazzling the firmament

     PRECIPICE


      Precipice tempts to trek
      Particularly me,
      Partaking as trekker.
      Peak of hill with sharp edge.
      Peculiar structure.
      Piercing firmament.
      Pretty feeling to climb.

SNOW

Slowly it crept across the peak
Numbing the core of life’s lament
Obscuring what had been before
White shroud upon dreams firmament.

Sword Play

Watch
Riposte
Spin, and then
Pique the heart ink
Diffidence showing the appalling link

Firmament encroached; caliginous stars
Ergo; all mars
With but three
Cuts to
Bone

Ah
Remise
Dip again
Ink thus imbued
Recondite quill forthwith shall be  renewed

In the Cloudless Night Sky

In the cloudless night sky
Each star clear
In the heavens
Sparkling like sequins
On a ball gown
Are you there?
In heavens firmament
Are you the bright star?
The one more beautiful
Than its neighbour
A thing of beauty
As you once were
At my side

Fish out of water; Are birds with wings? That fly in the 2nd firmament”; Worms crawling on the ground; Are men laden postured, horizontally sounded Liberated in prayer ;
3/16/26 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2026©

Aye

I've seen the stones;
the sphinx's heart,
the tears of the sand,
the touch of the wind,
the taste of the silence,
the plenty of the vastness
- all, though, existed 
without rhyme or reason
for as the shimmering firmament itself,
you towered over me.

Premium Member Earth Meets Firmament

earth
                   abundant, palpable
           stirring, settling, providing
ripples, vegetation, heliocentric, clouds
         shifting, shining, outpouring
             providential, mysterious
                         firmament

Smears
Of
The bright
crimson moon
A breathtaking sight
Waltzing across the firmament
The canvas for its art; painting the sky scarlet red
A sight for sore eyes! A magnificent rarity, soon to bury itself yonder

Frail Is the Star

Stardust filters her eyes-- diving headlong into an ache of links from yesterdays, coal the firmament. Each star a dot of reverie blinking with frail luster, a speck rusted in time washed by love’s weeping. Brian Strand's Choice 10
