Sirius

A sundown of blue notes
clouds like mottled spots on a feral dog.
No pink lick of horizon tonight, folks --
just a tattered madder edge
far below one bright defiant star.

I saw that sky too...it was something! I think that was Venus, not a star...

Lovely poem, and flower! Special moments in your day, Leslee!

You do have a way with words. I don't know too many people who can write poems as infrequently as you apparently do with such good results.

Thanks, Tim. So it is. In astrology, you know, they're all stars. :-)

Thanks, Marja-Leena. There are lots of special moments, but rarely time to capture them.

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate your encouragement, as always.

Reading this poem, I realize just how much I love the sky. Gorgeous photo, too.
