My poem: Dark firmament: gen

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Title: Dark firmament
Rating: gen
Length: 76
Poetic form: Rondeau
Inspired by: This set of photos of stars/aurora borealis

dark firmament, starry and bruised,
spilled ink above, with hues suffused,
purples and blues, reflected light
in water still, galaxy night
silhouetted leaves, canvas abused

night sea becomes celestial fused
as glowing orb sinks, is recused
from sight, leaves behind in its flight,
dark firmament

rocks, trees, under sky-seas infused,
highway, too, runs beneath perfused
dome, unfurling with all its might
its ribbon tongues, yellow and white
as if to kiss the much amused
dark firmament

This is very clever, and flows so well:-)

Thank you! I lucked into a good main rhyme.
