Sprawl by Philip F De PintoAll the warmth up there
merits a lonely man's stare
The plethora of galaxies in space
given to wild goose chase
What are astronomers to make of all the stars?
Has the universe gone too far?
Sprawling more than suburbs ever could
And God said it was good!
A poet sighs
to see pale skies
Sick with blood letting
So much light trapped in a jeweler's setting 06/04/2022 Posted on 06/04/2022 Copyright © 2024 Philip F De Pinto

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 06/13/22 at 06:00 PM Philip - so good to read you again and know that couplets become you in this cosmic poem. Great use of the word "sprawling" and I really like that intriguing last line. |
