Sonnet 62: Stardust Poem by David Wood

Sonnet 62: Stardust

Rating: 5.0


Poets write about stars in the night sky
They twinkle and glow or sit shining bright
They inspire lover’s dreams not to be shy
About loves beauty shining in the night.

Stars awake after their daytime slumber,
They shine so brightly from light years away
Too many to count, such a vast number,
Still poets write about them anyway.

Oh, how black would the night be without them
Hot inferno’s of distant suns hot light
Of galaxies and a tight spirals stem
White dwarfs and supernova’s burning bright.

Stars in the night sky make all poets glow
So eloquent words on the page may flow.

Too many to count. Stars are many suns in the sky. Please read my complementing poem 'Counting Stars' when you have time. Thank you for another wonderful sonnet.

Dear David How dark my night would be without your light Truly your poetry is amazing, it is from your furnace that the stars get their lights, I am so much hooked on your sonnets, they are so accessible, yet I know how difficult it to craft genuine poetic art, another 10 vote from me Truly Paul (Leaking Pen)

A great poem. We all have to look at the stars for inspiration at some point.

The innumerable stars strewn in the firmament are a lover's delight and a poet's rapture! In how many poems, the stars are an ever present presence! ! Beautiful sonnet! !
