Summer Sky
Black denim stretched across the knee of a summer sky.
Worn patches are clouds, the moon a bleach stain,
all held by twinkling rivets and seams of stars.

Love the imagery. The only way I could think to improve (and of course it's just my opinion) would be to get rid of the "are" and "a" in the second line... I don't know why but I feel that it breaks the immersion a bit. Be more direct. Something like:
Or something along those lines. But all-in-all, I really like the metaphors you used.
Thank you! I spent so long trying to make the second line flow and really couldn't figure it out, this is so much better.
