Tears of the Stars
A reflection on beauty found in the heavens
These diamonds glistening clear above thee
Shatter below and burst in tears of light.
Guiding beam this humble traveler sees;
Take flight again dear heart of mine, take flight.
This mist departs and leaves a blinding hole
A glimmer and a gleam of soaring love.
Rising again it lifts thy singing soul.
We travel below, it travels above.
‘Twas these bold arrows led the men of old,
‘Tis these that lift us in our dark disguise.
Men who traveled through ancient lonely cold,
Their starlight plays softly upon our eyes.
Through night chased in with such cold radiance,
With warmth these eyes of thine are made to dance.
-Abby Elisabeth M.
Disclaimers:
Secondly, Elizabeth, if you ever mention the lit. mag. to one of our professor's again...
Thirdly, this is brutal. For those of you who like poetry, I apoligize, but Kilgore said it was not optional, so I gave it my best shot.
Fourthly, Edmund Spenser (and his hundreds of rhyming lines) has risen significantly in my respect.
Fifthly, Ok! I'll admit it was fun.

Wow, that's really amazing work there. I don't see why you're trying to discredit yourself though; that was really lovely. I'm especially impressed with your diction and choice of subject. ^o^ I know what I say isn't saying much since I'm not the professor or even an English major, but it touched me, and that's what poetry is all about, right? :D
Hey Abby, I really loved your sonnet as well. :o)
