The sky is shattered glass in dead of night,
Crackling and pulsating with splintered light;
A mass of constellations burning bright
And scintillating in shimmering white,
In honour of the moon, Earth’s satellite.

My response to Jane Dougherty Writes Poetry challenge #50: Fifty
For the fiftieth challenge, Jane has given us some simple rules: a single stanza of five lines of ten syllables each. The five end of line words all rhyme, so Jane strongly suggests picking a selection of rhyming words first. The image for this challenge is entitled ‘Constellations’.

Love the smooth rhythm, Kim. It reads like looking at the sky, when starts are plentiful behind the moon’s mighty bright.

Thank you Jane. I’m in the process of tidying up my bog/website and re-categorising posts, which could be why WordPress sent a notufication.
