"To Sweet Dreamers (poem)" by Shelby K. Irons

I've always been fascinated by the fabric of the evening sky and all the astral bodies that guard us when we sleep. Thus inspired, I wrote this poem in 1996. Looking at it now, I can say I don't really like this one very much. It's just too 'sweet' I suppose. Until I come up with a better one, I'll leave it here for everyone to read.

Mistress Luna sings her nightly song

of silvered magic and fairy-dust dreams,

the sibilant sound is carried with etheral joy

by her radiant stallion team.


And the lustrous steeds sparkle

as they streak across the sable night

bringing their lady's song to sweet dreamers

who sleep peaceful, under pale moonlight.

I get a kind of early William Blake feeling from this one...reminds me of "The Lamb" for some reason. I'm not sure exactly why...I think it has a kind of child-like innocence about it."Little lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?" :21miles sheepishly:: If I'm makin' you think of Mr. Blake, then I must be doing something right!

beautiful...simply beautiful...a master piece. Revisions could be made....but I don't think they are needed. Passion seems to be a re-occuring theme in your pieces Shelby, it works well with your talents...Merry meet.

Wow. The word usage is supurbe. You are incredible... I'm stunned!

On another note, when I started reading this poem once I got to 'Mistress Luna', my cat (Luna) started meowing down the hall. That was kind of weird. lol

It IS a sweet poem, Shel. But sometimes sweet is good, too. This is precious. Your ever brilliant imagery never fails to take my breath away!

yep, child like innocene, and a dreamy quality. Perfect thoughts to fall asleep to.

.. Heh..
Just read your werewolf story and was looking for a chapter 3 when I saw this. I like it. Like dark night crystals... something that might flash through your thoughts moments before sleep consumes the dreamer. In its own way, a relaxing and refreshing poem.
