Ralph Sergi Poet Rhyme

Morganstern

Morgenstern
Oh, in the dark at eveningtide
Brightness beams so near to Earth
And Venus magnifies it’s light
An evening star to greet the night
But afore the sun will greet the day
A tiny glow will show the way
Up in the east the glimmer dims
A blast of sun obscures it’s being
A Good morning Morning Star
Guten Morgen Morgenstern

Reason A. Poteet May 13, 2019 at 9:38 AM Nice that you mention Venus, the planet. A double star connection, evening/morning. Have you German heritage? Reason A. Poteet December 22, 2022 at 6:16 AM Just found this meaning of morganstern - a weapon consisting of a ball set with spikes attached to the end of a club, often attached by a chain. Ralph Sergi May 14, 2019 at 12:00 PM Hi Reason: No, my folks came from Italy but I knew girl in Germany whose name was Morganstern.

Patricia Cresswell September 17, 2017 at 6:19 PM I enjoyed this poem.

Richard Lamoureux March 26, 2017 at 8:46 AM I didn't know that was the meaning of Morgenstern. Educational and enlightening piece Ralph. Ralph Sergi March 27, 2017 at 1:22 PM Thank you, Rick. there's a lot of history with that name.

Ralph Sergi February 28, 2017 at 6:48 AM Hi Andrea: Thank you for your comment.

Andrea Dietrich February 27, 2017 at 5:14 PM oh this is really pretty, Ralph. It is so nice to see one of your newer poems today.

Ashley Conte February 21, 2017 at 8:42 AM Beautiful scene from my cp screen-window! Ralph Sergi February 21, 2017 at 6:51 PM THANK YOU, ASHLEY

James Inman February 20, 2017 at 5:45 PM I'm assuming your reference here is for Mercury which is almost always seen just before the sun sets or rises. I seldomly see it but Venus is incredibly bright in the evening. A very lovely poem Ralph. Ralph Sergi February 21, 2017 at 6:48 PM Hi James: Mercury is also called the morning star but Venus is the evening star and morning star.

Jan Allison February 20, 2017 at 5:29 PM What a lovely descriptive poem and Morgenstern sounds so much more beautiful than morning star Ralph:-) hugs Jan xx Ralph Sergi February 23, 2017 at 1:39 PM THANK YOU, JAN!
