This is a nice little pastoral-type descriptive poem. My favorite line is:
bright stars emerging from the blindness of day
I think the last two lines would benefit from punctuation. If the stars are showing the telescopes, then I would put a comma after telescopes, and just say 'and night gazers come out to play.'
Otherwise it sounds like the telescopes came out to play, too.

Thank you so much for the great review, I agree with you about the last line looking a bit odd, so I have rearranged it. I appreciate you help Mary

No problem! Once in a while I get something off, and it comes out funny-awkward, too.

I really remember reviewing your poem and I gave it five stars. Maybe, you didn't receive it. It is a nice poem with good rhymes and lovely images of nature. Well-written. Faye

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is a very interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. I am well-versed with the Battle of the Boyne because I was brought up in the protestant community in Donegal. The parade in Rossnowlagh was a yearly pilgrimage for protestants from all over Ireland, and indeed the world.

I enjoyed your poem about nature and many beautiful creatures and facets. You paint this picture well, one can feel the stillness and animals stirring.

Comment from mollyhawk
What I like is the picture you paint of the freely given beauty that surrounds us from sun up too sundown. What I don't like being that I am from an older generation is the none use of capitals and I found that a little distracting. But the poem, top shelf, Rod.
