This chain poem, I Skip Among the Stars, has the proper framing (noting the exception of the final stanza) and finds one under the open sky and exploring the galaxy as sleep puts out the stars. Nice.

Hi, Yvonne,

This was lovely and reminded me that the moon's cycle brings so much beauty, joy, and change. Your quatrain with the chain rhyme was delightful and I envy your abilities in poetry.

Thank you for sharing,

~MP~

What a lovely poem with a lovely presentation! I love the rhyming. It wasn't typical but was very easy to follow. The entire piece flowed very nicely to the reader. The tone was soft and accepting of the night and the dreams that it mat bring! A great write! Congratulations!

-Very nice image and presentation.
-Notes are appreciated.
-Very vivid imagery and good
flow of ideas in the poem.
-I like the image in this line:
"put on Imagination's magic cap"
-The ending is a good one, and
rounds out the poem.

Hello Yvonne,
A beautiful poem for the challenge
it can be rhymed as you have, like the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
or with the third rhyme starting the next quatrain, like Frost in Stopping by Woods.
Either way a challenging poem and you've written it quite well
linking all the heavenly bodies and the Music of the Spheres
I love to skip among the stars, too.
Well done
Robert

There is a light feel and flow to your words. There is also a dream like feeling that comes forth from your words. "Saturn's xylophonic rings" is a wonderful use of words, it makes the planets alive with music.

Not right? Looks fine to me. Awesome, actually. Love the topic and the imagination you put into it.

Play tunes on Saturn's xylophonic rings,
arpeggios immortals long to sing.

All those big words really fit. Love the last line too. Superb job!

If you're talking about b in stanza 1 being diff from b in stanza 2, etc., I finally noticed that. But it has to be really hard to use the same b's etc. every time.

    I'm so happy you like it. I'm going to do another soon, and get it right. However, this way, I get to keep the championship for always getting something wrong. LOL.
