The Stars

“The skies look so cluttered,”

To myself I muttered

One star-spangled night.

“They’re so close together

In this kind of weather;

My, my, what a sight!”

 

But wouldn’t you know,

If you were to go

From one star to another,

In all of your days,

There’s way too much space

To traverse, so why bother?

  1. Brian,

    I like this quite well, especially the structure. The cosmos . . . conveyed with simplicity.

    Also, I have a few additional poems up at my site. Feel free to stop by some time. (Maybe you might like "Rain," which is a quatraine.)
