Starglaze
61seeking my star
Starry, Starry Night
blind spot of azimuth velocity
Starry, Starry Night
Starglaze
She serves seer-like as sextant seeking my star,
Astrolabe awash in waves aching afar;
Guide on, bllind spot of azimuth velocity,
Immerse me in starshine shadows so sultry.

Ireland is magnificent. Your poems are beautiful. God Bless You.
..you always put together the most lovely and heartfelt hubs which I may add makes you a true original - not unlike the epigramman - lol - because no one writes quite like him ....so here we are - you and I - true originals and decent gentlemen who are doing our own thing and it's a beautiful sight to behold.
In particular your poetic choice of words are like the stars up above: deep, profound and awe inspiring!!!!
