We've gone from the lazy days of summer back to quiet winter evenings. Really nice imagery captured here of dancing stars. Good one for the contest!

    Hey June. I liked the idea of constellations sending their light to dance on snow... it was a fun thought. Sorry for my tardiness in responding. Hugs!!

We live in a magical universe and this poem reminds us that the "quiet ballet" of awesome beauty is constantly on stage if only we would open the eyes of our hearts.

I have seen these dancing stars, in television documentaries and in the sparkling ice crystals in my garden when the winter sun shines on freshly fallen snow.

Good luck in the contest with this finely crafted work of poetic art.

Blessings, Marilyn

This 5-7-5, Dancing Stars, has the proper formatting and brings the readers' attention to those brilliant balls of light, which mean so much to the worlds they illuminate, and everything else to us.

My goodness. Have you seen stars dancing in the snow? It sounds unbelievable to me. I've never heard of such a thing. And a ballet dance at that. Hard to believe. Otherwise, this is a lovely 3 line poem.
Keep on keeping on.

You have a beautiful way of expressing these short poems in descriptive words which let the reader feel in awe of what they are seeing through your words.

I must wonder... would a moonless night high in the Himalayas have sufficient light seeing much of the cloud base is BELOW Everest's peak what the scene would be like.

    Oh Tom.... you nut... this is for your imagination, not the true facts of a Himalayan night scene. Thanks for the review.

    I knew that but still I wonder how wonderful it would be on a cloudless night with a million flashlights beaming down unobstructed.
