The Magic 9

~A sample of what you’ll find at my new blog, Astra Poetica~
(see below for details)

The Stargazers

Away from the glare of the city’s light,
We follow the firefly’s flash.
Abandoning the screens that so narrow our sight,
We trace the heavens for our favorite constellations.
With galaxies and gods, all going ’round in our flight,
We lay down our blanket in a hidden patch of prairie.
In this brilliant darkness, our vision’s set right,
As the dazzling meteors slash
Across the impossible night.

Greetings friends and poetry lovers,

I’d like to invite you to check out my new blog Astra Poetica, where I post weekly as part of an ongoing Fifty-Two Forms Poetry Challenge. In order to promote the challenge, I’ll be sharing an original poem in a unique poetic form every day over the course of the next ten days. My first randomly selected poetic form was: The Gwawdodyn.

“Snowdon from Nantlle Valley,” by Welsh painter 
Sir Kyffin Williams R.A.

Week One: The Gwawdodyn

Sons of Abraham (An Original Gwawdodyn)

Tell me all you Sons of Abraham
Spilling sacred blood for sacred land:
Do your daughters weep to see the slaughter
Of so many sacrificial lambs?
