Notes About The Poem

Student fascinated with comets devises a strategy for defending earth from  potential impact

Astronomy--Pleiades

Stunning tail-light of eve
Sweeps  across the heavens
Streaked with chrome blue tassels:
Swift the leap glossed by dust
Spin of Hailey's Comet,
Streams quickly... then fades off!

Supreme Salutations on your first first placement in the pleiades competition, nette. Enjoyed how you used "S" for Stronomy, quite unique, as it is the way we pronounce it.
