Happy National Poetry Month, Astronomybuffs!

April is National Poetry Month.

What better way to celebrate National Poetry Month than to write an astronomy limerick or haiku?

Haiku is 3 lines: 5 syllables in first line, 7 syllables in second line, 5 syllables in last line.

Okay, here is an example:

Astronomybuff,
I carry them in my heart,
how I love thy blogs.

Now, I want to see yours, people. Be creative. Show me your best work!

With vast convolutions Draco holds
Th’ ecliptic axis in his scaly folds.
O’er half the skies his neck enormous rears,
And with immense meanders parts the Bears.

-Erasmus Darwin’s Economy of Vegetation
