Good Things To Come - A Poetry and Dance Collaboration

the stars that glisten 

for you at night

are selected by star control

a celestial team that

bend shadows and light

upon the sky you have come to know

they sail through space

a magnificent sight

on an upside down rainbow,

and they look a little like us

but with eyes lightening bright

and skin that shimmers silver and gold,

so when you are lying in bed 

and the stars sparkle with delight

like diamonds floating on shadows

wrap yourself up tight

whilst dreams take gentle flight

and slip away beneath a silvery glow.

In the poem I talk about a magical type of person or people, that control the light that we see in the stars. they  travel the night sky on an upside down rainbow and their skin shimmers (much like stars do)

Perhaps something similar is going on at day time.

magical people that help the sunlight reach us here on earth?

or a team of specialist (magical people/creatures that manage the rain, the snow, the wind and hail

Be imaginative and try using some figurative language if you can.

Metaphor - Simile - Alliteration - Hyperbole - Personification - Onomatopoeia - Oxymoron

When you have finished your poem, leave it sit for a while.

Then go back to it and see if there are any changes you can make.

so it is a good idea to have a Draft 1, Draft 2, Draft 3 for your poem. You don't need to rush it.  

I hope you enjoy writing your poems. if you want to share yourself reading them or share the text - Consenting parents/guardians and schools are welcome to tag me on twitter with the work - it would be great to see.
