Admiring Jupiter
Admiring Jupiter
Well named for the bolt-thowing king of the gods,
Lightenings arc in blazing traceries
Beneath your seething cloak of stormclouds
Racing like Furies around your awesome girth
As you spin, fastest of planets, in pirourette
Pulling a small cloud of worlds about you,
Commanding all smaller bodies within reach.
King of storms,
Dressed in tempests,
Magnificent and terrible -
Lucky thing for us you stopped drawing mass together
And didn't aspire to stardom .....
