While I whittled to stay the sun The moon and stars Reckoned with dismay, “We are ready to rise!” I continued, until a few rays Of splintered, silver light Pressed against my pen Soon, heavenly hosts From behind the eastern veil Resumed their lament “How will the sailor navigate?” “What of the ebbing tide? And where will all the wishes go If ‘First Star’ your stroke should hide?” Smiling, I continued, until nothing more Than a ghost-light sliver Held tight against my winding-down prose And then, With a period, put to rest my pen Leaned back on soft, green grass Eyes toward horizon far And that is how I came to speak, complete With the moon and stars!

"While I whittled to stay the sun The moon and stars Reckoned with dismay, “We are ready to rise!” I continued, until a few rays Of splintered, silver light Pressed against my pen" What a unique and refreshing look at the poet's lament type poems (about the interruption of day on the writer's work). This was remarkable in the way you used the dialogue to convey the divergent perspective of Day with it's views on extending a poets late night musing. I was totally enchanted. Pleasure as always.
