Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

How Lucky Am I

How 
lucky 
am I
So close
to the sky
Nearer the 
Moon 
than the  
Earth 
am I
I watch
from my 
balcony
way up high
Espy
planets
and stars
in a clear 
night sky
Saturn’s rings
so magical
Really 
seem so 
close to me
Jupiter’s moons
so many has she
But my 
favourite
by far 
is a 
sparkling
star
glistening like a 
million
precious 
diamonds
She lights up
the sky
like no other
I espy
How lucky 
am I
Venus
shines 
upon me
Exquisitely 
I see her 
from my 
balcony

Tom Cunningham June 5, 2023 at 12:47 AM Nothing beats the wonder of the heavens Ann, you're lucky to live in such a beautiful place with minimum light pollution. I hope you are keeping well. Just back from Norway and met up with Anne Lise in Haugesund. An unforgettable experience. Tom Ann Gilmour June 6, 2023 at 4:34 AM Hi Tom lovely to hear from you. I have not been on PS for ages, as my Parkinson's is moving on and have been quite down because of it. However recently my muse returned and I am enjoying writing again, Norway, how wonderful Tom and to meet Anne Lise too - a great experience for u both. Kindest regards Ann xx
