In my opinion, a smooth, randomly rhyming poem, depicting the ethereal and enigmatic beauty of the night sky and its wonder - thoughtful in its dreamlike perception and presentation...

While you describe a wondrous sight, I felt rather chilled as I read the words. It is very well written and I salute your talent. This is nicely done.

Lovely, lovely poetry. A bit of mystery is always something we revel in. You have done a fine job with this and your artwork is haunting, as I read something into it, subtle, but telling.

very powerful images of staring out at the night sky and seeing the mystery and magnificence of the sky. I liked the first three lines the best
Draped in blue velvet the sky shines tonight.

Deep and silent, it tingles with unknowns....

No moon or stars in the sky, tonight

A lot of energy in a few lines. I find that the next to last line seems to be unrelated to the rest of the poem. What am I missing here? I am also having trouble relating the blue velvet sky to the night sky, especially with no moon or stars.

Blue Velvet Sky
by amada

Excellent imagery of the moon less star less sky.... Mysterious indeed. I love the color blue so you had my attention from the start...velvet blue brings visual and tactual sensations.

I love this phrase..."the truth is cold and flat like a heartless iceberg' I think of the truth below the water...cold and cruel. Well done!

You have selected a wonderful picture to accompany your poem of praise for the night. You have chosen to make a night of mystery, a night of intrigue and joy. You have acknowledged that although it is cold, dark, and flat, you can be engulfed with the beauty of the unknown luster that is promised from within.

Well done and thank you for sharing this with us.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem had some daring imagery in it, some unusual imagery that was imaginative and out on the edge, and it created a powerful eerie effect in the piece so I'm giving it a six. I liked that line "Deep and silent, it tingles with the unknown" and "The truth is cold and flat as a heartless iceberg." There is a harsh experience of reality here, the inscrutable nature of life, and the fact that reality can often seem heartless. Like the reality of this pandemic. Or war. And it kind of sinks you the same way. estory
