the moon Jupiter 

May 31: Driving home

Outside the car window
three planets floating.

October 24: Closer

Venus, Jupiter, and Mars move ever closer together in the pre-dawn hours. This morning, right out my front door, so bright, I wanted to keep staring and staring until they dimmed with the sunrise.

 

Above: three planets.

Below: wild turkeys feeding

in a misty field.

Red sky in morning,

and three planets still high, bright--

there's hope for us yet.

February 23: Porch light

Winter twilight--

neighbor's porch light glows,

an evening star.

Anticipating moonrise
the plumes of my breath
obscure Jupiter

Continuing with my morning practice with the help of Winter Feast for the Soul.
