on the longest darkest winter nights
Celestial flames lick the sky in twirls.
Fiery red and green dance violent whirls
against velvet black backdrop unfurled
by God for this dazzling play of light
in the coldest corners of our world
on the longest darkest winter nights.
I like it, really brings life and makes me think of paradise
ReplyDeletewould be a beautiful thing to see...made me think of the aurora borealis...
ReplyDeletebut too that even in the most unfrogiving places there is light and color....
They said that the aurora borealis was to be visible here last week. I wasn't up early enough to see it. Your poem described the way it would appear very well. I hope you had a chance to see 'this dazzling play of light.'
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually seen an Aurora. I hope i get to see it.
DeleteI have always wanted to see Aurora Borealis. Beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteThat's just lovely, and I'm hopefully going to see the northern lights in March!
ReplyDeleteoh this is wonderful. I like the repetition very much. We had a chance to see the aurora borealis near Boston one night last week but it was cloudy....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - the repeated lines really work in this poem. The sight described must be dazzling.
ReplyDeleteIt must be wonderful to see an aurora borealis! I thought reading your poem that you had seen one.
ReplyDeleteLovely, like watching the umbra grow during an eclipse and then the full sun again ...
ReplyDeleteSo lovely a tribute to the amazing lights! I saw the Northern Lights twice. They are truly awe-inspiring!
