Sky MAG
January 13, 2008
Majestic creator of geometry
Of my peering face, window, weeping willow tree
Her body cropped against the landscape
Cradles birds, leaves, buildings,
Rain and shadows
In open arms.
Her ever-changing robe
Sapphire, crimson, auburn, gold
Continuously alters the wrapping paper
Presenting the Earth to mankind.
The world ends where the sky begins
Nothing lies beyond the horizon
But the knowledge
Of the stars
Reaching beyond the Milky Way
Whose luminescence strokes my tabletop
In a tiny apartment
A gleaming box of light
Adorning the vast expanse of a building
Carved along the edges
Of a clear night sky.

Oooh, I liked the sort of riddle that this poem portrayed, because you used description so well. One thing though...why don't you try using the word "sky" as little as possible, and only at the end? This way the reader would still get the point, but in a more artistic way.
