Just thought I would try my hand at poetry! It makes me so happy to read, I thought I might as well write some!

A thousand thousand

diamonds spread on

black velvet across forever

and ever.

-------------------

Cold winter nights,

gazing skyward, with big

lost eyes, just to stare

and to think.

-------------------

All senses trained up

toward the heavens and

toward the future,

watching.

-------------------

Peaceful, like numberless

waves on the beach

or the soft song of a

violin at sundown.

-------------------

Somewhere, clouds swirl

and rocks fall, the

world for worlds pushing

ever outwards.

-------------------

Below, held by a

holy quadnity to

the ground and wishing

for the moon.

-------------------

Gems and fancifuls

craved and desired

pale in comparison

to the luster that has watched.

Your poem conveys so much elegance, creativity and emotions. It's so descriptive, and it shows that you really put a lot of thought when writing it. :D

I love the meanings behind your analogies. They are very graceful and your word variety is just amazing! I love how you separated each section! Your poem is very calming and inspiring to me. Your descriptions are amazing, i love the 'black velvet with diamonds' one!Most of us do ponder the future and just stare off getting lost in the never ending night skies. your poem represents these feelings amazingly! you are an amazing and unique writer! great job!
