Starlet Rose

by Tim Martin

Northern flower curtains draw
   on stormy arctic poles.
Forces shower early dawn,
   Aurora, Starlet Rose.

Floral ballerina flies,
   performs inspired rolls.
Borealis features live
   euphoric fire shows.

Chandeliers electrify
   exhilarating scenes.
Banners cheer intensely bright,
   reveal elated dreams.

Darkness goes enchanting sights
   unfolding graceful wings.
Sparkling polar pageants rise,
   run golden vapor streams.

Heaven's hazy angel looms
   weave reigning tapestries.
Pennants sail cascading hues.
   Creation flashes green.

Rippling fountains dance delight,
   spring deep reflecting blues.
Mystic mountain splashes night,
   releasing pleasant tunes.

Flaming effervescent lark
   sings winter's gleaming rites
playing red fluorescent harps
   in symphonies of light.

Wonder's sunny tempest flows
   galactic sol affairs,
colorful expression glow,
   ecstatic solar fairs.

Ribbons shimmer blossom trails
   as glaring torches flair.
Crystal mist swirls lofty veils,
   transparent glory airs.
Beauty's brilliant aura rains.
   Moon sonnets whisper here.
Blooming pillars soar arrays
   to softly disappear.
