Starry Skies

The stars are eyes
peering on the earth below.
Watching children fall
to sleep, watching
street lamps illuminate
bustling cities.
When the sun rises,
the eyes grow weary.
Falling asleep, they disappear
not to retun
'til night is near.
The stars are eyes
protecting their sleeping children
protecting them
from the dangers of night.

I like. What rhyme scheme is it?

That last stanza, if you want to call it that, was weak, it didn't really close the poem very well.

Good job overall. I liked it, had to read it twice though, to get what it was about.

Is there supposed to be a deeper meaning to this, other than the starts protect children at night because they are light?

Or are people supposed to find their own deeper meanings with connections?

Idk. I simple wrote it.



It was SUPPOSED to be freeverse, but since it rhymes in one place, I don't know what to tell you.

It's freeverse still. The instance of rhyming is incidental. ;)

Nice use of imagery. =)
