Celestial Sensations

sun bids her farewell
with a final curtain call
reds and mauves to thrill


venus then twinkles
with diamonds full of love
sprinkled from above


moon crescent in view
luna love forevermore
takes my breath away

Tom Cunningham Date: 6/4/2020 1:29:00 PM Love those celestial images Ann, there is so much to see above us. Hope our summer comes back, it's like winter again. Good luck in the contest Tom Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 6/4/2020 1:42:00 PM Well I started the Haikus yesterday, but then had a senior moment and forgot to finalise, and it was not until I saw your beauties today that I remembered mine, so only just made the contest - phew! Thanks Tom. Weather here is very humid with just a little drizzle over night, but I am so used to seeing blue sky and sunshine everyday, so I hope it returns soon. Good luck to you to my friend.
