First and Far | Haiku

Poetry 1 Minute

From the evening into the night with a couple of haiku…

Sun setting against a dark sky background

First

First scattering of

Dusk-dimmed stars, smeared thin against

Darkling winter skies.

The Milky Way galaxy

Far

Burning Jupiter

Before Orion reaching and

Far Andromeda.
