The Night Sky

As twilight merges into night Luna casts her golden glow Surrounded by twinkling stars As she puts on her nightly show A shooting star streaks across the sky A wish is made before it fades Sparks of delight gleam in the eye As the night plays its serenades Constellations are scatered here and there As Venus comes into view The night has a magic all its own To enchant us through and through 2-26-2022 The Night Sky Poetry Contest Sponsor: Anna Marie Kaianah

that was lovely, Joseph. And it was so cool the way you threw Venus in at the end. The goddess of love!

Joseph, thanks for writing this. It is so lovely in its imagery. Many times have I wished upon a falling star and pondered the Milky Way with its eerie haze light years away. Nice writing.
