Stars Spar Poem by John Sensele

Clusters and constellations of stars in my life glitter
Shining so bright, twinkling to spin my mood
Soaring, sifting, swirling in flavours of the fritter
I masticate as pangs of emotions long for morsels misunderstood.

Rays of stars in corners of my mind twinkle
Spawning seeds of the happiness business
I savour with sentiments I sprinkle in the wrinkle
Crossing drawers, growers and sowers of my dwindling dizziness.

Stars shine, cars consign miles to smiles
They munch with each bunch of emotion
I feel and steal each time sorrow styles and lifestyles
Threaten to rain strains of pain in my crane of commotion.

Astronomy and gastronomy to me mean no harm
When assailed by pale pain from which I cringe
Peering into the telescope and periscope I charm
Once I determine never again to assent to the lure of binge.
