A Quatrain with an ALMOST Chain Rhyme

I Skip Among the Stars

by damommy


I skip among the stars ‘most every night
when I can catch a moonbeam’s trailing light,
put on Imagination’s magic cap           
and let sheer fancy take its freedom flight.
 
Across a spiral stairway in the sky,
a comet’s tail comes swooping on the fly.
Its path will pass beyond the Milky Way         
through shooting asteroids as they storm by.
 
Play tunes on Saturn’s xylophonic rings,
arpeggios immortals long to sing.
Sweet melodies forever caught in space
are carried through the clouds on unseen strings.
 
I wave as old Man Moon smiles sleepily.
The planets laugh at my audacity
in sailing ‘round the heavens recklessly
while by my bed, the Sandman waits for me.
