An array of radiant colors
These wonders of the universe
Unknown and unexplored
Mystical newborn stars
Like fireworks in the vast expanse
Finally seen but already gone

“Finally seen but already gone” I love this line! It lets us know just how fleeting not only the universe, but our own existence is!
-
As always I thank you for your kind "WORD"...lol... thanks Clovis it is nice to see familiar names coming back to read my works. I do appreciate it.

Superb/Fun/Intriguing/Unique
Wow, what else can I say, but "Wow". -
Thanks LisaMArie for you kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the write and the photo but of course the photo was not of my doing. I cannot take credit for a beautiful photo like this one.
-
Thanks Fallen I am so glad you liked the write. It is true we don't relize the free and simple things till they're gone, but in the case of the stars, by the time we see them they are burned out.
-
I love this poem. It is as magical and mystical as the picture. Great job!
-
A sad realization; we often don't notice beauty until it's long gone and too late. The stars, the heavens, and cosmos, all so far out of our reach, yet when we do see them, it's almost like they're right there beside you sometimes.
-
Thanks so much Kari. I'm so glad you liked it. You're opinion means alot to me.

Thanks Mike for your kinds words. Glad to know you enjoyed it.

Again I thank you for the kind words. When I write something for me everything has to fit together, the words, photo, background and font. For me it all works together. It seems to help set the stage for what is to come.

thought provoking
loved this, it is true, by the time we realise the beauty its already gone, but with pictures like that, we can appreciate them forever. -
Your only intent was well sought through freespirit. Well done
-
Thanks Leo for your kind words. I do believe it is a photo from one of those fancy expensive telescopes. And as soon as I saw it, I reminded of the 4th of July fireworks.
-
I don't know if the photo is from the Hubble telescope but it gives us a glimpse of one of the many wonders of our universe. I have always been fascinated by the night sky. Thanks for sharing this pristine, petite piece with us. Good luck in the contest.
Regards,
Leo Long
ps. Thanks for reading and commenting on my work. I do appreciate it very much. -
Thanks so much for your beautiful words. Glad you like them and I hope they touched you.
-
Thanks Fiorentina for your wnderful interpretation. Everyone sees a poem from their own point of view. My only intent was to bring their beauty to words and that once we see them they are already dead and burned out. But you can interpret it any way you wish.
-
Thanks so much for your beautiful comment. I am glad to know they touched you in some small way.
-
WOW!! This is so crisp!! Your beautiful words have really enliven the fireworks. The picture is vivid and very beautifully presented through the brush of your pen. Keep up the spark!!
-
I like this. I'm not sure how you meant for this to be read- but the way I interpreted it is that the stars are so beautiful and full of wonder and unknown- and so many people take advantage of the thought that they'll always be there. So the stars are overlooked- and by the time people will take in their splendor- or want to- it very well may be too late. Like I said- I probably interpreted this completely differently- but that's poetry for ya I suppose.
-
Very pretty words and verse together.
-
As always I thank you for your great comment. I try to make my poems easy to understand It is also the kind I enjoy reading. Thanks again
-
How true. By the time we see them they are already gone - millions of light years away. Interesting picture you have chosen - poem fits it well. Easy to read and understand.
-
Many thanks for entering our contest and do wish
