I think for most humans it is impossible to comprehend how big and expansive the universe is. We look at things around us and it is hard to fathom all that space. This is well done.

I really love the structure of this poem and the enthusiastic way you present the subject. I too stare in wonder at the marvels of the night sky and you capture that feeling very well. This is one of my favorite pieces since I joined this site. That you for sharing it! I'm David.

good use of enjambment
nice opening alliteration in sky spreads and in other phrases like cosmic constructions
vivid descriptive detail
effective use of the form's repeated lines

Tom, I love it. The sky, the stars, the whole vast universe has always fascinated me. How I wish I could be a spacewoman, soaring through the amazing universe of such beauty. I love this poem and the style too, you have really brought the whole of this poem to life, the imagery, the rhyme and this wonderful rhythm, can't really tell you what I felt and thought, just that it is brilliant! Well done, Tom. xsx Sandra

I am learning new poetic forms at the present time, but this one is too complex for me so I'll just appreciate it. I especially liked these lines:
"Those cosmic constructions show beauty and grace,
as the planets, the moon, and stars interlace
in visions that only the clouds can displace."
Well done, Tom.
