Quadrille #112, and we’re asked to
include the word sky in our 44 words.

***************
man dreams
ships that go
beyond our sky
to space mysterious
where asteroids cruise
galaxies unknown
and planets hide
beyond our sky
at night we peek
above the clouds
to vast infinity
beyond our sky
we seek to know
the secrets
beyond our sky
Love the repetition here! I do often feel that the sky holds many secrets.
ReplyDeleteHi Bev! This is something I need to share with my fellow writers here at dVerse. I so enjoy reading the work that you create and post, and am genuinely honored to be embraced as a part of this community of poets. May we all find healing in these challenging times. And as a true aquarian love child, and also a proud flower child of the 60’s, who truly believed then we would some day change the world to be a better place for all, and still believes that we might yet do it — I wish each of you peace, health, and love. Write on!
ReplyDeleteThere's something about this comment that disturbs me. It sounds like a farewell address. I certainly hope that is not the case, and you have just taken the time to express your feelings at this moment in time.
DeleteLovely use of repetition here that drives the message home, Bev!💝
ReplyDeleteWe certainly do dream of what is out there beyond. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour poem validates what I believe ... that there are limitless vistas waiting for humankind's exploration. And that we are intelligent and curious enough to find them. I love this.
ReplyDeleteBeyond our sky - I would love to know what is out there!
ReplyDeleteI think we all ponder what lies beyond our sky. The mysteries that we might find.
ReplyDeleteYou did take us to the sky and beyond Bev. Thanks for dropping by to read mine
ReplyDeleteMuch💜love.
The line repetition is very effective, Beverly.
ReplyDeleteThat mysterious "beyond" is calling!
ReplyDeleteThe repetition of ‘beyond our sky’ takes the reader into space on a smooth ride, Bev. There is so much that we don’t know, can only dream of, and will never discover, it makes me feel tiny and insignificant – puts me in my place!
ReplyDeleteSadly humans would do better to sort out their own planet first before upsetting or contaminating the rest of our galaxy. I don't mind us peeking but rubbishing or infecting other worlds is bad indeed.
ReplyDeleteIf we could learn this secret maybe we would stop destroying our own planet.
ReplyDeleteThe mysteries of the sky and universe. This is lovely Bev
ReplyDeleteWe do. Part of me hopes we never do find the answers. Mystery is good.
ReplyDeleteah to dream beyond the stars....beyond our solar system. The mysteries of the universe....you've engaged me here.
ReplyDeleteI love to dream like that... but I think that dreams goes even further than that.
ReplyDeleteI like to think of the sky as having secrets.
