William Kelii Kekaula Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Number Three: Earthrise

Astronaut William Anders's space photo,
Onboard Apollo 8 on Christmas Eve,
Nineteen sixty-eight, a bit of a show,
Influence nature, world-renown to be,
Taken with the moon as in the foreground,
And then with the earth as in the background.
