I love this stanza! Would humans be able to perceive the art of a parallel Keats however such being could achieve commensurate lyrical feats? Would we all not love to read a cosmically parallel Keats.
Perchance in the heavens' vast expanse unfathomed in immensity, a pale blue dot round lone star may dance where mortals have more sense than we...... impressive inscription on heaven. A beautiful poem. Thanks and congratulations for being chosen this poem as the member poem of the poem of the day.
Ah, you have quoted the last stanza. I'm pleased that it impressed you. Thank you very much for sharing your reaction to my poem!
I have read all the comments and your replies thereto. Loved most of the comments and all of your replies. Thank you for acknowledging and answering all the comments, which most poets here neglect to do, including myself.
It is true that I try to respond to comments and it is nice that you noticed. Thank you. For one thing, I appreciate it when someone takes the time to read and respond to my works. And also the feedback helps me know if I have conveyed my poetic intent to the reader.
Science and poetry are sisters born of the same mother. Loved your poem, thanks for the beautiful picture. The last stanza is worth reading a hundred times.. Heartiest congratulations on your poem's selection as the 'Member Poem of the Day'!
I agree that science and poetry go together and I'm glad you enjoyed the way I combined them in the poem. The fabulous images from Hubble Telescope often inspire my poems. I'm pleased that you like the last stanza so much! Thank you for your marvelous remarks!
2) CONTINUED: Keats is my favourite classic poet.Another coincidence? No, it's God's will. Really! Dear Mrs.Harley, this MPOTD gos to MyPoemsList. A 10+++. Thank you so much for all attentive notes and sources.
Keats is one of my favorites too and his poem " Bright Star..." seemed to lend itself to be included here. I'm glad you like the notes which I feel should be included whether or not anyone reads them. At any rate, I always research the subjects in my poems and often learn a lot in the process.
CONGRATULATIONS Mrs. Harley, being chosen by the PH Editors Yesterday it was me and Today are you. Coincidence? Of course not, God's will, sure.

By nature bountifully bestowed, albeit diamonds in the rough, we fail to seek an enlightened road but choose instead to strut our stuff.....the paths of the great space are really mysterious; puzzling the paths are all through dazzling flaring lights of stars; decorating ornaments and precious dust of the space; beautiful poem penned on the stardust; congrats for being selected this poem again as POD
