Under skies of Neanderthal
There once was a green icy ball
Now it’s come back around
50,000 years bound
This week is the comet’s last call
Don’t miss this opportunity…

Smooth Curve
Sleepy violet dawn
Contrasting marble white skin
Smooth curve of her hip

Starlight
As saturnine night descends
I, wrapped in starlight
Shatter into rhombus patterns
Shadow fragile, carbon scattered

Mars
Deity of war
Girdles a seraphic moon
Autumn’s red rumble

Stargate
Slivered thumbnail moon
blowing smoke ring clouds
into an astronomical Stargate
Come fly with me
through a fantastical wormhole
of the imagination
Stone
Neowise
In the soft early hours of the whippoorwill
The gleam of Earth’s temporary guest
Winds through our solar system
Its furtive tail rising above the tree tops
Hazy at first but growing more luminous by the minute
A race against the very sun that gives it measure
Your awe inspiring journey to places only imagined
Now the making of a magical morning for this earthling
And as you fade into the dayspring I bid farewell
-See you again in 6800 years
Ball of dust and ice
Hurtling through space and time
Another comet tale

Heaven
No more dances
Around the sun
She is now
Back to stardust
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #185: Heavens
Solstice
Enveloped stillness
As constellations glitter
Velvet solstice night
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #167: Stillness
Contemplation
My contemplation
Of all life’s impermanence
Stars subtle decay
