Past Venus and Mars

The Moon slipped Mimosa* a drink The Star blushed and then blink-blinked A comet gazed at this scene from afar Zoomed away past Venus and Mars A perfect storm was brewing on Saturn All the rings were creating new patterns Phantasmagoric, like the sun's wild corona Dramatic as a master-matador in Barcelona All this took place last June When newlyweds revel in honeymoons As for me, I turned out the light And kissed the Night-Sky goodnight ___________________________________________ *Mimosa is one of the brightest stars in the night sky
