Well you have succeeded. As my eyes darted around the page I could visualise the stars placed in the sky, the gulls shooting like arrows and mountains reflecting the morning sun "with majesty and grace". Brilliant!

Marcia this is lovely and
Marcia this is lovely and clever, the arrangements really works. Are you meaning this for Poetry Monthly which is all about visual poetry (see under 'blogs' at RH edge of page)? Usually we are encouraged to put (Poetry Monthly) in brackets in the title if you want it considered under that challenge.
The horizontal lines in the middle, is that just to pause between scenes, or does it refer to the layering in the flat foreground? Rhiannon

I like this Marcia. You could just add poetry monthly to the title and look as Rhiannon suggested. It fits. Very skyish and eye darty.

Oh it's lovely Marcia. Your
Oh it's lovely Marcia. Your language is delicate, very soothing to see, too. Really excited you've had a go. The repetition in this strikes me - the gulls gulls gulls. My favourite is the use of brackets - rays of sun? I think so. If you tag it as poetry monthly, it helps people identify it as being based on the theme and allows readers to browse easier.
