This is a fine entry for the 10-word poem contest. Good luck in it if it isn't over. There is a wonderful afterglow (alpenglow) that accompany some sunsets, almost otherworldly. Marilyn

Rod,
Hmmm... I'm really curious as to how this poem did in the contest. I mean, it's sooooo beautiful and even without the image, creates such a lovely picture in my mind. I would have expected it to do well, but don't see a ribbon. Hm. Thanks!

This is an attractive presentation, nicely colour matched. The mental visual image is appealing, suggesting that stars are like downlights adorning heaven's ceiling above us.

You selected a beautiful picture to highlight your ten words, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading your poem. Good job with the word count. I believe I would not capitalize ceiling. I like the 'ing' sound in lines 1 & 3. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

Thank you so much, Jan, for sharing HEAVEN'S CEILING and your kind praise and the suggestion. I did put "ceiling" in lower case
Comment from Nicole Hawley
Heaven's ceiling - very nice use of metaphor! Short but quite sweet - loving your alliteration and rhyme scheme. And you couldn't have chosen a better way to illustrate your work. I enjoyed this, thank you for sharing.

I am delighted you enjoyed the alliteration and rhyme scheme of HEAVEN'S CEILING. And you are right. That lovely illustration inspired the poem.
Comment from Mark D. R.
Quite a delightful verse and a most appropriate illustration to complement the same.
Your newborn stars is a wonderful and descriptive phrase.
The following does not affect my review, but it is your choice to capitalize or not.

Thank you so much for your kind praise of my poem and for catching that sp error. FanStory will not let me use an apostrophe in the title.
