31. Autobiography w/o pronouns

1.
star dust formed star in womb until uranus says "chil come on"
but star was stubborn so a moon flew down to aid in boom

star dust was called mute moon child who's only glow
sprinkled on trees

uranus says to the aquachorus,
"dat chil , always hides thoughts,
speaks wit eyes, and den scribbles"

aquachorus responds, "let light shine
let light shine
light shine"

2.
eclipse lasted a little too long loosing light
of moon child
and her glow
and uranus asks aquachorus: "where's lil light ?"
aquachorus replies: "dark comes this way
dark comes this way
dark comes this way, but dark will pass"
3.
hint of diamond residue mixed with comet tails
was the appropriate ambrosia
that gave moon child strength to write dark into light
and light into glow
and orbit, into rhythm
and uranus said to the aquachorus: "dat chil of mine, always hides thoughts, speaks with eyes, and scribbles on trees
aquachorus responds: "let light shine
let light shine
let light shine"

Hacque,

This poem is an excellent response to this exercise. I like the freedom the lack of pronouns gives to the sense of place and movement of image with sound. Keep up the good work!

Best,
Chris
