Exceptional Practice for this week's poetry potlatch Miscellaneous Poems Vol 2 : Turn off your lights by CD Richards

The stars shine proudly in the sky; turn off your lights. Is that a comet sailing by? This neon bites. Do not deny my right to reap the treasures of the heavens deep. For love of crisp, clear, crystal nights turn off your lights. The loss of darkness makes me cry— gives me the shites. Each nebula I bid goodbye my wrath ignites. Your wicked incandescent glare obscures my view, but do you care? Restore my wondrous dark sky sights; turn off your lights.
