Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Out there in the vast abyss of space,
a thousand splendid suns
(and several rather ropey ones)
shine down with pitiless face
on worlds of molten lavas rife,
or colder than ice, a frozen core,
gem-hard deserts, chemical shores,
but it’s only here that shelters life.
Line count: 8
Rhymed abba cddc
For Express It In Eight, 11.26.22
Prompt: A thousand splendid suns.
