Goddess of love doth shine bright in the skies As one planet blushes red among the stars The moon, surrounded by twinkling fireflies Looms ever so large to a distant Mars Venus, adorned in her beautiful glow Outshines Jupiter in the Milky Way The dark realm of Pluto is too faint to show But has five moons in orbital array Diamonds in the sky show off their glisters As my thoughts to the heavens take flight A cluster of stars called the seven sisters Twinkle brightly in an enchanted night Myths of the night sky are never too far I gaze in awe and wish upon a star 5/1/17 Venus: Roman goddess of love Seven Sisters: Also known as the Pleiades
