Nature inspired poetry.

Melissa is writing again!!!

January;
cool, crisp air bites my nostrils
as I look into the night sky.
My breath forms crystals while I watch
the Gods play their night games:

A star sails from Orion’s bow,
aimed at a cart-wheeling Taurus
and slides past, doing no harm.
Dorado swims beneath Caelum’s chiseled rock,
while Mensa’s mountain waits to be conquered.
Reticulum sits, calm and quiet, to
grab them all within his net.

They frolic, even with the
fading of the night sky and the
rising of the sun. Somewhere, in
another part of the world, I know
their game continues for another
who cares to watch.
