Sleeping Stars Poem by Alison Gaff

Sleeping Stars

Rating: 5.0


Everywhere is dark and still
With nothing much to see
But as I turn the corner
The new moon does greet me

It's just the merest slither
A tiny crescent of light up in the sky
But I do not see any stars
And I ask the question why?

You'd think there'd be stars a plenty
Dotted in a sky so black and deep
But there are no stars a sparkling
Perhaps they are all asleep!

Very sweet and creative. I'd never really considered that stars might sleep! Good use of personification.
