Stelliferous Poem by Harley White

Stelliferous

Rating: 5.0

Stelliferous the stars o'erspread
that lace the heavens overhead
and sparkle plentifully bright
to grace the atramental night
when face of lumined sol has fled.


Sidereals the skies embed
bejeweling where dreamers tread
to render poets' fancies quite
stelliferous.


With wonderment the welkin's wed
to linger long in starry bed
‘midst tapestries all strands unite
of infinite supernal light
e'er woven with celestial thread
stelliferous.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The poem is in the form of a rondeau… A source of inspiration was the following… Palomar 6 (Wikipedia) … Image: Palomar 6 ~ This sparkling starfield, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys, contains the globular cluster ESO 520-21 (also known as Palomar 6) . A densely packed, roughly spherical collection of stars, it lies close to the center of the Milky Way, where interstellar gas and dust absorb starlight and make observations more challenging.

In essence, "Stelliferous" invites us to look up, contemplate the stars, and find solace in their silent brilliance. It whispers of eternity, curiosity, and the shared wonder that unites all beings under the cosmic canopy.

Good poem. Stars have always been a source of inspiration for man, from time immemorial. Stars visible by naked eye are just a few thousand. But the NASA pic captures millions. Top score
