Equinoxes

An equinox is, for everyone
all over the earthly globe,
a time when through the center of Sun
(that essential daylight strobe)

passes the equatorial plane…
This paired biannual state,
of both autumnal and vernal twain,
once again we celebrate!

Komoeditza (literally, lump eating). That's how Russians pagans call the day when they eat ritual pancakes) Hi, Harley. I was out again. Very nice equinox)

Thanks! I don't know much about the various celebrations. This was written at the request of the Astronomers Without Borders poetry blog, where a lot of my poems are posted.
