The NightSky

Author Bio: I love the Nightsky. It’s beautiful. There are so many analogies and stories and sights that all come with that one image or word of the night sky. So I decided to explore it and create the poem, NightSky. Enjoy!

The Nightsky

By: Shivali H. Patra

In the quiet realm, the night sky weaves

A tapestry of dreams and wishes.

Stars whisper in cosmic song.

In their celestial dance, they tell tales through time.

The night sky has meanings untold,

A tapestry, with a story to unfold.

The same tapestry, you explore

when your world’s pitch black and you’re lost.

The sky you glance at watching

a shooting star or fireworks

or Jupiter or the dazzling moon!

On a holiday or any Tuesday!

The night sky filled with happiness,

sadness, excitement, fear, and wonder.

The tapestry of the night sky unfolds its own stories,

Its own song to sing,

Its own dance to dance.

Life and stories are woven into the night sky.

  • Reach for the Stars!

    Author's Note: This story isn't exactly mine to tell. One day, I came home from school, crying because I got a huge blister (this happened in elementary school) and the blister spread across my entire palm.

  • Take Me Away

    Author Bio: I wrote "Take Me Away," when I felt swamped with a growing list of things to do. It made me miss the days, in the pandemic when I’d run around the backyard, screaming “I’m bored!”

     

  • I'm Here!

    Author's Note: This poem was actually inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem, "I'm Nobody! Who Are You?" I was experimenting with rhyming schemes, and then I read Emily Dickinson's poem.
