Notes About The Poem

Karen Jones' Favorite Footles Contest ~ July 14, 2026

Cosmos

Starlight
  Gleams bright

Deep space
   Dark place

Black hole
   Eats whole

Dwarf star
  So far

Cosmos
   Not close

Night skies
   Moonrise

Stellar
   Dweller

Spaceship
   Long trip

Hot sun
   Fire spun

Blue moon
  Mates swoon

Sand dunes
   On moons 

Pulsar
   Quick star

Eclipse
   Sun slips

Red mars
  Fight spars

Gas rings
  Weird things

Pluto
   No show

IO
   Moon glow

Dead star
   Burned char

Aries
   Pisces

An Aries... I'm not surprised. I'm a Scorpio... with a sting when it's needed. Thanks ever so much for your thoughts and journeying with me on this Footle adventure.
