Chasing the Moon and Stars

Chasing the moon round and round, Never catching a glimpse of you, As darkness falls on my dewy ground You're under a bright sky of crystal blue. When Mars is shining in your dark sky And Venus sparkles bright white, The sun is shining in my tired eyes From chasing Pluto all night. When your Milky Way passes overhead, And on Jupiter there's icy rain, It fills my heart with pain and dread Just to start the race again. Chasing planets never ends. Guess we'll always be "just friends". By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: May 9, 2017 "All rights reserved"

Strong command of the form. Really like this. When irony is added to the sonnet the results are Shakespearean. Thanks for sharing..................peace!

I enjoyed this fast moving piece of splendid planetary images. I read Robert Lindley's poem "midnight comes:memories I embrace" which I'm glad brought me to your work - Love it...Maria

beautifully crafted my friend. Chasing in such a way, reminds me of younger days,chasing the pretty girls to ask for a date. Solid ten and a gem...

Thank you, Andrea, but I guess it wasn't "beautiful" enough. I didn't even place in the contest...as usual. :( Carole

A collaboration of both talent and muse, breathes life into this fantasy dream as we whimsically chase the planets around the solar system. Well written. Emile. #7
