The Song of Stars: A Poem by Me

Good evening, Cyberspace!

Today I’m going to be doing something that I’ve talked about doing quite a while now, but haven’t gotten around to actually executing.

I am going to share a poem that I wrote with you.

Now, I know I mentioned opening up a Poet’s Corner a while ago (because, seriously, how cool does that name sound???), but after being honest with myself, I really haven’t written enough poems in my life to consider myself that big of a poet. In fact, the total number of poem’s under my belt is a grand tally of four.

Four poems. And one of them is about a cold virus.

So yeah. As much as I love writing poetry, and I hope that my folder of completed poems continues to grow, I’m not going to be starting the Poet’s Corner at this precise moment. Maybe someday, but not today.

Today, I’d just like to share one of the poems that I wrote with you guys. I wrote this particular poem a few months ago for school, and it actually was inspired by one of my favorite celestial objects: the stars. There’s just something so magical and mysterious about the night sky, and it remains one of my greatest inspirations when it comes to poetry, or just writing in general.

So, without further ado, I give to you The Song of Stars…

I stand beneath a midnight sky

With darkness as my friend,

And stare at silver pools of light

That dance upon the wind.

Like flashing scales in a stormy sea

Lost in the foaming waves,

The stars sing me hushed melodies

That softly drift away.

Their voices light and splintered

Like the sound of crackled glass,

In the dark they whisper

To me fables of the past.

Guardian angels in the sky

Hear wishes of the lost

And guide them home by pale starlight

Back to what they love the most.

I stay all night watching the stars

Till morning finally comes,

And hear their voices drift afar,

Shattered lines of crystal songs.

I stand beneath a midnight sky

As night draws to an end

And to the stars whisper goodbye,

For they are now my friends.

So, what do you guys think? Did you like it? Hate it? Loved it so much you shed a placid tear? Would you like to read more of my poetry? Do you like to write poetry? What is one of your greatest writing inspirations? Let’s talk about all the poetry things down in the comments below!

Oh! And as thanks for putting up with my rather sporadic posting schedule as of late, I shall present to you some cookies and milk as a peace offering. Enjoy!!! *throws cookies in the air and disappears*
