Reading through all of the comments, I believe some didn't understand because they didn't understand "rent" as meaning a tear in the night sky; yet there is a serenity.
Me myself, I've enjoyed this little jewel of yours since it was first posted (I had just gotten to know more haijin from when I entered my first WriMo in October, 2007). It's especially fitting now to have acquired DD status!

I am still surprised! 
I bet you are right - I think the word 'rent" may have been misunderstood - but I stand by it as a valid way to see the meteors in the sky!
Thank you Jade! 
I have been busy visiting everyone's gallery who have taken the time to fav the piece - I am seeing some amazing things on my journey.

Fantastic! I hope they are wonderful things!
As for the "rent" word, oh yes definitely stand firm on your choice because I think it was perfect!

I was going through a period of studying the Tao and Shamanism at the time, I am glad that it shines through.

o_o My interpretation of it is that basically stars live within the night sky, and within them are the constellations of gods and legends.
But that sounds so simple compared to others .. and I may very well be wrong. But .. good job. :3

Interpretations of poetry are never wrong - it is to you what it is to you. Everyone's life experiences are present as one reads or hears a piece and that is what colors your thoughts, emotions and feelings that the poetry may elicit. Many times as I read something, I will not understand it on a conscious level and yet tears will spring to my eyes - I "know" or "get" what it means without knowing what was meant.

Not worth a DD.. for Gosh's sakes, people; it's a scrap! and not even a 5/7/5 syllable haiku!

To be informed is to be enlightened. Here is an excerpt from "The Haiku Handbook" by William J. Higginson:
"Many Western authors have fallen into the simplistic trap of saying that the haiku is a 17-syllable poem in 3-lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. This has led to whole classrooms of teachers & children counting English syllables as they attempt to write haiku. But Japanese haiku are written in Japanese, which is quite different from English or other Western languages.
"In fact, Japanese poets do not count "syllables" at all. Rather, they count onji. The Japanese word onji does not mean "syllable", it means "sound symbol", and refers to one of the phonetic characters used in writing Japanese phonetic script."

Not even the Wikipedia will tell me what "sound syllables" are ._. Sorry, I dun understand, still
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sound "symbols".
it's okay, just please understand that Loretta is a fine & respected haijin (writer of Japanese style poetry) and a lovely person as well

how long did you think about it after you read it? hmmm?
besides it's poetry, there aren't any set rules. Lighten up there and enjoy it for what it is, even if it is a scrap.

very nice
has so much more meaning than just the words
The words don't make that much sense, I'll be the first to say it. But somehow, that's not the point, the very nature, maybe even the shape creates a concept far beyond what is obvious.
Very serene
I like Haiku

The shamans of Peru believe the night sky is a tent overhead, and the stars are the holes - this inspired me as I laid there looking up...

Sorry to say I do not understand, but I will not try to take away your DD merit, because someone must find meaning in it.

The shamans of Peru believe that the night sky is a tent overhead, and the stars that shine are holes in the tent. This is something that captures my imagination. Perhaps that helps?
