Ann Gilmour Poet Acrostic

Obsession

Obsession in the sky above, such infinite beauty I truly love 
Beyond the earth I see Mother Moon and stars and planets too
Saturn and Jupiter through my scope sends shivers to my spine
Even Saturn’s rings I see clearly and Jupiter’s many moons
Shiniest planet, favourite by far, is sparkling, glistening Venus 
She really is the jewel in the crown, this diamond way up high
ISS is another treat and I always wave as she passes me by
Oh lucky me having balconies high, so much closer to the sky
Now seeing an exquisite sunset, brings tears of joy into my eyes

Sam Kauffman September 28, 2021 at 10:21 AM What a lovely "planetary" gem, Ann. I love the line about the balcony letting you be closer to this wonderful universe of ours. And the acrostic was a perfect form for highlighting each planet. Congratulations on your win my friend! Your words bring wonder and joy to the night sky. Ann Gilmour October 1, 2021 at 4:27 PM awww Sam I really appreciate your lovely words my friend.
