No clouds hiding the fierce stars.
Tranquil summer night.

In his spare time he scribbles poems, dotes on his wife, speculates on why Leonard Cohen and Jacques Brel are not as popular in America as Ricky Martin or Britney Spears and runs Gravity Presses (lest we all float away) Inc., a small press publisher of poetry chapbooks and a quarterly magazine, Now Here Nowhere.

michael, this one is nice,
“except” the fierce stars.
this part of the piece disrupted the flow.

just “my” opinion
case in point:
White moon, onyx sky
No clouds hiding the flirting stars.
Tranquil summer night.
yes, you do have a style worth fighting for.
