This makes me think of a dance. As if the sky and the earth were spinning around the dance floor to music only they can hear. The image you have chosen is beautiful.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This ten-word poem, Ribbons of Aurora, has the proper word count and creates a beautiful mural of a night sky enchanted with the cloudy lights of heavens gases. Nice.

This poem follows the rules. The idea is grand. What a magnificent sight those northern lights are. The adjectives chosen magnify them even more so.
Nice presentation. All the best

This 10 word poem provides the reader with a rich sense of imagery that creates a beautiful picture. The artwork accentuates the picture. Nicely presented.

Well done! You managed to convey a complete train of thought with wonderful verbal and visual illustrations in just ten words. I live where the northern lights are visible, but I didn't see them at all this winter. My wife did, but they made an appearance long after I'd gone to bed. Great poem.

Have a blessed day.

Tom

    Hi Tom, I've only seen the northern lights twice in my life and nowhere near the intensity that those further north see. Sorry to hear you missed them this past winter Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm thrilled you enjoyed what I wrote! :o)

This is almost perfect. I beg you to consider changing the last line to:

"delicately waltzing, over sparkling stardust."

It just makes more sense, and it gives the rhythm a better cadence.

At any rate, this is fine, fine work. Nice job.
