Best Comet Poems

I glimpsed it one night floundering in dark,
still young of age, beset by whirls of doubt.
Not knowing on what journey to embark,
inside my gloom, I prayed to be pulled out.

How radiant and rare it seemed to me,
appearing like a comet, light to show.
I set my...

 Dreaming dreams of purple-blue skies
I thought I’d take a little ride,
upon a comet, just to see,
the things that I had not yet seen.

So a comet tail I grabbed and
into the universe we sailed.
Then as I passed through Saturn’s rings
electricity danced through me.

Upon my passing...

This Christmas Eve will be over soon,
Vixen and Cupid are over the moon;
Santa, Dasher and Dancer,
Ate baked beans with old Prancer,
Poor, Donner and Blitzen are in a swoon.

It sped through the night like a stone skims a pond,

Out to the stars, and what lies beyond.

Where will it go, what will it see,

Amongst nebulous giants, and strange galaxies.

Will it find life, has our earth got a twin,

Will it find the answers, how did...

A Green Comet can be seen
In the night sky, these next few days
Beautiful sights, in beautiful ways!

Rampaging through the heavens
never stopping day or night,
a spectacle of a lifetime
a comet in full flight.

Faster than a cheetah
with a tail that's miles long,
bigger than a mountain
so powerful and strong.

The outer ice is melting
causing vapour from the force,
and leaves a trail behind it
as it travels...

A  stunning scene. Edited for our insatiable reading pleasure.  High on a tight-rope.
The debutant wearing her 2-piece at one end. The isis general at the other.The plot is for them to tip-toe, slowly towards each other.  Marking the point where they intervene....

I was attracted to her troubles, her artful exits,
her love was terrible, she hurt me in all the right ways,
hides behind the tall tree of my inspiration
whistling like a playful truth easy to please & difficult to release,
says goodbye kindly & curiously as a dream...

Every 75 years we see

it gliding over our dear

planet Earth, as you watch

it, we know that we may never

see it again.

It was named after astronomer

Edward Halley (1656-1742)

One man was born as Halley's

comet was passing our beautiful

Earth one night in 1835.

During his life time he wrote

Streaked across the astral sky 
a cosmic snowball friend
off to points unknown
in space and time
 
and time again,

a smile imprinted 
on my mind, 
though sometimes..
your long dusty ion tail
makes me sneeze 

meek's deep solar wind 
left a bright arching trail
and in its fading beauty
an aching...

A comet was once known as a blazing star.
Now she’s a wild flower in meadows afar.
Sometimes called a button snake root, a floral czar.
A brilliant center of admiration, bit of a quasar....
