Anil Deo Poet Senryu

Pre - Valentine's Sky

I
Delicious evening
Furtive moon, modest stars
2023 but ancient Sky

II
Cooler, Eastern Cape evenings - delicious
Blazing hot days, 40 degrees Celsius
Give way to ancient ways, in the stars
Only a few tonight (why?) And Venus perhaps?
Two of the four stars in a box, outshone the rest
 - when Moon escaped the cloudy hedge
A few belts with triune stars consoled me

Thomas Wells February 8, 2023 at 8:36 AM Your study of the cosmos on starry nights is very much like how the ancients would view the heavens. The timid furtive Moon symbolizes the feminine. Perhaps you wait for her to appear as your Valentine. So much introspection conveyed here. Nicely done! -Thomas Anil Deo February 8, 2023 at 7:25 PM Dr. Wells, hallelujah. You add so much to the ports attempt here, not a reader who takes & subtracts. Thank you +++ tough in USA, & here, because racists & demagogues prostitute Democracy. Not adding as U
