C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

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…

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

Stone

Adrift in the clouds
What are you moon, cheese or stone?
Glowing talisman

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

Contemplation

My contemplation
Of all life’s impermanence
Stars subtle decay
