Venus Down Under

The sun rose to the occasion
To greet the waning moon
Who had greeted the Willow Tree
Hoping at midnight just a little spoon

What a delight to see them
In the early morning light
Venus orbiting down under
Wishing to view the sight

Great write, Sara! When still living in the southern hemisphere I loved the nightly sky with the Southern Cross. And thank you for your ongoing comments! All the best!...Gert

Very lovely poem, Sara! I always seek out Venus in the night sky. It has a spectacular blue/green color. I'm returning from my vacation tomorrow. Hope you are doing well. Love, Carolyn

"Venus orbiting down under." This is great! You've revealed the image's true nature. This is Aphrodite. The Greeks would have loved your poem. Love, Dave
