Balloon quadrille for dVerse

Posted on March 27, 2017 by sarahsouthwest

Weave me a basket of starlight,
owl feathers, and the deep midnight
prowl of a moonlight cat. It’s time
to set sail on a star stormy sea
moth winged blanket to cover me,
carried off by the silvery moon,
my beautiful dreaming balloon.

De is keeping bar at dVerse tonight, and the key word is “balloon”. Float on over and check out the poems.

Sigh. Just so beautiful. A lullaby, really.
I love that moth winged blanket, especially. I should like one woven like a luna moth’s wings.

What a beautiful way to dream, carried off on an owl feathered blanket to see the moon and stars. Sounds like sweet dreams. Wish mine would go more that way. Thanks for the beautiful picture
