Saturn Venus & Mars

a poem inspired by the alignment of

 

Saturn Venus & Mars

If you live in the Northern Hemishpere of this universe,

and look at the western sky to catch a planetary triple play

starring Venus, Saturn and Mars. The first thing skywatchers

will see �" weather permitting �" is the planet Venus,

slightly north of west, in the constellation Gemini.

Look for Gemini's twin first magnitude stars,

Pollux and Castor, just above Venus. As the sky gets darker,

the planet Mars can be spotted to Venus' left as it appears

in the constellation Leo very close to the bright,

first magnitude star Regulus. Further still to the left,

will be Saturn shining in the western part of the constellation Virgo. The sky map shows how to spot all three planets.

Venus, Mars and Saturn are all currently appearing,

slightly north of the ecliptic, the path the sun appears to follow

over the year, shown in green in the sky map.

 

This occurance inspired the poem that follows.

Good morning my love, hope that you slept well,

while you were away my dear, all the night sky fell,

the only stars that remain, are the stars in my eyes,

when I gaze upon your face, the tears my heart cries,

for I can only dream a dream, of you in my world,

and wish that I could kiss, those sweet lips so curled,

I also wish that you, would think of me this way,

holding you in my arms, is my wish each and every day ....

I LOVE THIS! I'm currently enrolled into an astronomy class and I knew exactly what you were talking about. The alignment of these three planets are lovely. Your part was wonderful.
