Gregory Richard Barden Poet Jueju

Notes About The Poem

Sky Afire

Bright, out-shimmering the stars,

          Venus, Jupiter and Mars ...

               Each November, guard the moon,

     Whilst the Seven Sisters swoon.



Stars that swim a sea instead,

          Mars is blushing, cheeks so red ...

               Moon and Venus kiss, adored,

     Swoon for Jupiter, their lord.
