Celestial Twirl

Planets in orbit
Some big and some small
Beings from outer space
Some named, others not
Discoveries made

Orbital spin
Masterfully
Perfect timing
In retrograde

Planets sway
Comets fall
Earth rotate

Unflawed
Refined 

Sphere



Contest: The Universe
Placed: 8th

Soup Mail, Wilma!Ek wonder wat sal nog ondersoek word in die heelal! Hulle het reeds 'n tweede aarde gevind, maar te ver weg te wees deur die mens bereik. Geniet jou naweek! Al die beste .... Gert:)

Awesome write, Wilma. You really work well in this form and I love the way you mention the "retrograde" and the refining of the spheres in space. Great poem for my favorites where it and you both belong. Love, Carolyn
