The stars of night do fill the sky,
Celestial bodies found within,
But differing in majesty,
The day is her fraternal twin.
She holds the sun that shines beyond
The twinklings that in evening spring;
Where each has its own special glow,
They equally make my heart sing.
And though the clouds get in the way,
I love to see both night and day.
Author notes
I hope you don't mind if I used option #4- I wanted to write something for your contest.
I have twin nieces named Mary and Morgan, who are age four. I don't have children of my own, but it's fun to play with these two occasionally. They do look a lot alike, but are fraternal in personality. And they are cuties!
I don't get to see them very much anymore, now that I'm back teaching at school, and they live an hour away.

This write is splendid! I love the way you played up the metaphor and your iambic tetrameter. Children are such wonderful objects of inspiration. -

A word fitly spoken, like apples of silver in settings of gold. An awesome expression of love for your nieces. Very, very well done, sis!
