In The Shadow of Sunlight

Quote: When earth’s one half faces the sun, the other half goes to restful sleep – Anonymous
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With tilted axis
And elliptical orbit
Earth shimmies like Prima ballerina

With a graceful pirouette
She faces the Sun’s heat
Smooths out glare on her feet

At night she parties
Filling veins of her green
With stimulating goodness sap

Moon, the proud practice partner
Strenthens her seasonal jumps
Allows her to Celebrate

Appreciative Sun shines
More on the partner
To see well the glow on ballerina

Unmindful of Newton’s theories
Lush lives thrives on this duet
In the shadow of sunlight

Hmm, science, poetry, and ballet weave together to show the weaving of the sun's, earth's, and moon's orbits.
