and what you write is always true, even though clouds and storms may blight the array of endless stars, far above the EXOSPHERE. Well thought out and accomplished.

Hello Tom. Thanks so much for your lovely review. I will have to look up exosphere. I've heard of it, but I don't remember which layer it applies to up there.

Hello Helen. It's good to pop in and write for a while. I've become a professional volunteer here and can't look up for more than a few minutes, but I've developed the flu or some such, and by Drs. order have to stay home for a few days. I love the release from responsibility and hopped back onto FS and hope to play for a few days. :). I hope you are doing well and thriving!! Hugs, my friend.

Thank you sweet Sally. I've been too busy volunteering in my community and church to have one spare minute to focus on my writing. I'm sick with the flu, so forced by Dr. to have down time. Thank you for your lovely comments.

Well hello there! What I like about this one is the depth of three dimensional feeling you provoke with the write. Midnight looking at stars over ocean's deep blue. This has a great chance of winning your contest. Good luck.

This 5-7-5, Velvet Blue, has the proper formatting and sends a chill up my spine as the vivid darkness and imagined cold send thoughts of destruction .
