The velvet sky
Twinkling just enough
To show off their elegance
Gracefully dancing
Around the most
Beautiful pearl
So bright
She lights the heavens
And all the earth
She stands above
Dark segments of cotton
Intermittently obscure
Her sparkling luster
As the wind silently
Pushes them
Across the midnight sky
Soon the pearl begins
Gently falling
Toward the horizon
As a golden ring
Appears on the opposite
End of the world
The poem, Day and Night by Lisa Piper is a free verse poem as it has no proper rhyme scheme. It is about the exchange of the moon and stars to the sun, or the changing from night to day. I really enjoyed some of the images created in my head from this poem. For instance, the 'Diamonds covering the velvet sky", "the beautiful pearl", or the "golden ring". "Diamonds cover the velvet sky twinkling just enough to show off their elegance gracefully dancing," was the perfect use of a personification to create beautiful imagery. The whole poem seems like a personification with the line, "Soon the pearl begins gently falling," as well.
