Periwinkle skies















dversepoets.com
Victoria has asked us to write using the Lai form of poetry today, a nine line stanza or verse with the short 5 or 2 syllable lines. I expanded it to several more lines.

Sayer,
With my hazel eyes
I see the sunrise

layers,
and I theorize
the Universe' size.

Sailors'
silken moons arise;
romanticize,

players
immortalized in
periwinkle skies

Prayers, 
stories of our lives, 
hopes, dreams realized

Paler
stars found, a surprise
novas rhapsodize

Nature
mourns, decries the why's
of lost butterflies
