A single star shines
in a blueberry sky,
the only companion for
the sleepy moon.
The moon, a silvery sliver
peeking from under a heavy lid.
I wonder,
how many hopeful hearts
have whispered their secrets to
you tonight?
The sun is waking.
Rest, and dream your own
incandescent dreams-
You can shine
for lovers later.
But for now, good morning!
Sleep well.

KOLKOREover 16 years agoFirst of course to the poet; what a smiling and dreamy poem! And who -let me repeat myself who could describe the physical attributes of the language better than foehn2 (is there a foehn1?). Take this wonderful comment which could have won a prize in and of itself for scientific and artistic accuracy: "The alliteration is interesting, too, with a predominance of sibilants helping to create the slightly somnambulent, susurrous tone". I have not heard such a sentence for who knows how long! Kidding aside, once I looked some of the word up, it definitely describes the sound/meaning quality of the words in the poem very succinctly. So thank you both for the pleasure.
foehn2over 16 years agoThere's a lot I liked here. I especially liked "blueberry sky," and I smiled at the jarring juxtaposition of "...good morning!/ Sleep well." The alliteration is interesting, too, with a predominance of sibilants helping to create the slightly somnambulent, susurrous tone.
