Stupid Damn Stars

Stupid Damn Stars and the Lantern Floating Ceremony...: My First Sonnet; Poorly Attempted, Poorly Done, and Poorly Titled

The falling stars all floated in the sea

Looking up to where their Heaven had been.

Mirrors remain; their vanity still is sin,

Chorus of light, gazing in jealousy,

For in the sky, water is all they see.

The birds swam 'round with each feathery fin,

And the stars held fish in contempt, akin

To flightless scales; in the sky was the sea.

The dark was the same where the ocean had laid

Against the heavens, and so it was the same.

But the horizon had shone darker still,

So from the sea the stars began to fade,

To press themselves to the line without name,

In vain to blacker darkness fill.
