Our Blue Nebula
Not the stars with their tributes
that map the night sky,
nor the moon with its pale glow.
Not even the sun’s fiery blaze
can outshine my love for you.
With your brilliance by my side,
we are the brightest light in the heavens.
This is my response to Quadrille #200, the prompt from Mish at dVerse Poets Pub, which is to use a form of the word blaze in a Quadrille – a 44-word poem (excluding title), with no required meter or rhyme.
Off prompt for Day Thirty of National/Global Poetry Writing Month 2024 at napowrimo.net.

I like the growing intensity of the lights being compared against, and then the final lines that have built to a strong conclusion.
Excellent poem!
