Morning Star

MORNING STAR


Morning’s minion dancing on the dawn
Tiny Terpsichore, trembling fay :
To her uncertain smile I am drawn  -
Shy Venus, goddess of  the early day,

Shimmering along  the far horizon
As the sky lightens and the vault glorious 
Glows brighter, till the sun has risen 
And entered the dramatic chorus.

. . . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .

NOTE

The planet Venus is not a star, but is so bright that 
the ancients called it Morning Star  or Evening Star.
This poem shows it as a "morning star". It is currently 
(February  2012) seen in the evening  in the southwestern
sky, just to the right of another bright spot, Jupiter.
