Desert Sunset [Haiku]

desert sunset
dips toward silhouetted dunes:
fade to black... then Stars!

“Meditation” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]

A wise man,
Watching the stars pass across the sky,
Remarked:
In the upper air the fireflies move more slowly.

“Autumn” by T. E. Hulme [w/ Audio]

A touch of cold in the Autumn night --
I walked abroad,
And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
I did not stop to speak, but nodded,
And round about were the wistful stars
With white faces like town children.

Starry Nights [Verse / Free Verse Mutt]

I’m stunned by all the starry nights
Beyond the sprawling city’s lights:
Swirls made of so many colors —
The dark, the light, middling others.

What eternal infinite
Exists out there between
All those stars?

All the dust and nothingness
Of that cold, unbounded expanse
Dances in the hot shell
Of my skull.
