S a T U R N

S*A*T*U*R*N

Slinging our way through your ice-ball halos,
Around your myriad shepherding moon rocks, 
Tiger-stripe ice cream body below
Undulates in a tidal, hypnotizing rhythm,
Rocking our slender ship.
No sane artist could imagine you.

Congrats on a 9th place finish on my Planets poem from ages ago. Incredible taut write, fabulous word choice. First line really grabbed me.
