Under the Sky

Bubbles floating freely up to the sky, 
memories spiraling gently under the sky.

Chilly morning calm breaks into sun's delight,
as cumulus, cotton-ball clouds play in the sky.

Warmth hovers in the atmosphere, its glowing love,
as cerulean calm paints its melody on the sky.  

Daylight in dance, a playful canvas for loved ones:
a home for buzzing bees and chirping birds in the sky.

Crepuscular rays catch dust that sparkles brightly,
as the evening's beams hover still amongst the sky.

The night's first stars cast life upon a dark slate,
I watch the artist's palette of pinks and reds leave the sky.

I wrote this poem for the Wea’ve Written Weekly prompt #147 at the Skeptic’s Kaddish. Artie was the Poet of the Week and provided us with the following prompt:

  • FORM: Ghazal
  • THEME: Love (romantic, spiritual, agape, platonic, etc.)

Ghazal

  • Made up of a chain of couplets, where each couplet is an independent poem;
    • It should be natural to put a comma at the end of the first line of each couplet;
  • The Ghazal has a refrain of one to three words that repeat, and an inline rhyme that precedes the refrain;
    • Lines 1 and 2, then every second line, have this refrain and inline rhyme;
  • The last couplet should refer to the author’s name;
  • The rhyming scheme is AA bA cA dA eA etc.
