Pop the corks and throw the streamers

















Amidst the planets and the stars
Shattered fragrance dances
As strings of crystals whirl around
Bright blue light enhances
The dark
Deep black but not stark
No sound
No sign of vapour trails
I'm going all the way to Mars
Exuberance prevails







I tried to concoct the haiku out of my earlier poem, but didn't succeed.








deep black but not dark
strings of crystals whirl around
exuberance

floating on high
with the planets and the stars
shattered fragrance

great outburst of fun
people popping corks
throwing streamers

midwinter midnight
fire vying with the sun
outdoes the stars






























Written for a prompt at CarpeDiem
