I do so love this!
Oh, happy Poetry Month!
I laugh with delight!

[Ann]

Goddess of the heavens
sprinkles stars
over the sky.

Sorry about the meter.

Ann

[geckzilla]

Beautiful Venus,
with your cruel atmosphere.
I'm glad I'm on Earth.


(it's 5-7-5, Ann. You can do better.)

(it's 5-7-5, Ann. You can do better.)

Venus in the sky
You stand next to Pleiades.
The sisters love you.

Hey, I liked my first poem better!

Ann

[starstruck]

Hillside at nightfall
The senses somehow heightened
Wonder at the sky

[Ann]

Stellar sapphires sit
in the hair of the lovely
Queen of the Planets.


You got me going, geckzilla! Starstuck, your meter is better than mine.

Ann

I clicked onto APOD and what did i see,
Everyone being a poet,
That is, except me.

[orin stepanek]

Oh me; oh my!
Up in the sky;
I see Venus and sisters up high.

[Lordcat Darkstar]

Poets we all are.
Todays APOD is at fault.
All is good today.

[emc]

Light stolen from the sun
Passing its sisters in the night
The evening’s journey long begun

[Chris Peterson]

There once was a lady from Venus,
Who said...

Oh, wait. Different tradition.

[BMAONE23]

Venus Venus in the sky
passing ere the sisters by
shining very brightly

To the Japanese
Pleiades are 'Subaru'
Perfect for haiku.



btw- I was frustrated trying to register because none of the answers I could come up with (or find anywhere on the site) to the question "What is the Asterisk* about? (one word)" were valid. I tried 'star', 'follows', 'space', 'forum', 'word', before stumbling across, on a final try. I was this >.< close to giving up.

Hey Stan; Welcome!

[JohnD]

Do not confuse
A planet with a star
No way are they relations!

It's things like this
That really muddles people
Getting it right will help.

Venus happens to be
In line with the Pleiades
It's no big deal!

Asterisk was started as the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) discussion forum. Reduce that to one word and you have what Asterisk is about. It's also in the header of every page.

Welcome aboard the Starship Asterisk*!

It has been cloudy where we live in central Idaho so we missed the early April conjunction. This photo of conjunction was back on March 24. Venus, Jupiter, Pleiades and the new moon.

Great shots LC!

Seafoam meets siblings;
Epoch passes toward the Sun,
Earth in violet dawn.

Thank you, Hank, that's lovely.

a weekend passing
on APOD they penned haiku
as I slept deeply

***

jeweled heavens shine
spring's first promise a fortnight past
basking trees - awaken!
