A ripple in the sky

The sun slowly sets
Sending satellites sliding
Across the sky
In Dark matter of fact
A slippery night
Gliding down
The celestial tide
A new moon waking
In new oceans bed
A liquid shimmer glazing
Of bobbing heads
Sinking haplessly
Beneath the waves
of light
Treading on the stars
rippling the sky

A wonderful piece filled with subtle images, great rhythmic intensity, and perhaps most importantly---quite visual! Well done!

It's lovely how this poem really reads like looking at a dali picture whereby you're not sure at any moment whether you're looking the the sea or the sky and there's no obvious distinction between the two. It's such a strong way to write poetry and irresistable. I love it. Your language is golden.

Thank you

Crows... I've made a change to that line, It didn't sit right with me either.

Janyce... more like watching the stars from under water. That’s where I was trying to place the reader.

I just see the reflection of the sky in the ocean. Is that what you had in mind? I like the way you express what you see; that is if what I see is what you see. Makes sense?
