Haiku - Celestial Seduction

lights weave through snowflakes 
teasing and twirling about 
distant stars dancing

a brilliant display
wearing only hand-me-downs
the moon steals the show

James Inman Date: 4/6/2020 10:02:00 PM I was driving late in the evening last week and I had to call my daughter to go outside and look at the moon and Venus beside it.
