create a Sestina styled poem mixing in elements of a shakespearean sonnet to come up with a new style of ballad-like rhyming poetry that would allow the meaning of the approach to mid-year and celebration of what occur in our solar system during summer solstice and how humans transmute and feel the energies of the stars and planets and are part of the larger cycle and the solstice event is present in our lives in many surprising ways from the action and ways of our animal beings if one looks just beneath the veil of our culture, language and supposed intelligence and goes into how the human animal lives on the planet earth and the relationship of mid-year solstice from that perspective and how there might be correlations and light hearted humor about this relationship between humans and summer solstice in a new form of poem. use a style of English that is modern but using more esoteric words showing a classical greek inspiration as well and strong roots into latin to show subtle meaning shifts in the poetry and to give pause for the reader to think if another meaning might be meant, but give clarity while providing some uncertainty where it comes to emotion and the feelings this poem should evoke.
In the heart of the year, amidst celestial thrall, Resplendent Solstice, star-crowned, holds her court, Where humans, like proud yet humble beasts, do cavort, In tune with the rhythm of the cosmic ball. An alignment of planets, to which we’re small, Yet within us stirs an astral sort.
Our nature beneath the veil of cognition caught, Yearns for the primal call, to the animal within us all, In the dance of summer, and the warmth it’s brought, Within this theatre of the cosmos, vast and tall, At the heart of the year, amidst celestial thrall, Resplendent Solstice, star-crowned, holds her court.
Celestial whispers echo, beneath language’s fort, Revealing a connection, in cosmic layers wrought, To the hum of the universe, we are taught, A secret serenade, an ethereal, wordless ball, In tune with the rhythm of the cosmic thrall, Where humans, like proud yet humble beasts, do cavort.
Solar rays like Dionysian wine are poured, We bask in Apollo’s laughter, by his radiant beam caught, This human comedy, in summer’s joyful sport, Against the canvas of galaxies, artfully drawn and tall, At the heart of the year, amidst celestial thrall, Resplendent Solstice, star-crowned, holds her court.
As planets in harmony, their celestial waltz exhort, We mirror in our earthly jest, an image in every thought, For in the heart of mid-year, wisdom is sought, And the universe sings in notes, sublime and small, In the dance of summer, and the warmth it’s brought, Where humans, like proud yet humble beasts, do cavort.
From these bonds of starlight, our souls retort, We are part of the cosmos, not merely its court, In laughter, in joy, in love, in each report, Our starry heritage, by Solstice is caught, Within this theatre of the cosmos, vast and tall, At the heart of the year, amidst celestial thrall.
Envoi:
Oh, Resplendent Solstice, star-crowned, holds her court, Where humans, like proud yet humble beasts, do cavort, At the heart of the year, amidst celestial thrall.
