NaPoWriMo–Day 27–Hay(na)ku

There is much controversy on the sky trails seen in my area. These are the white trails left from planes flying overhead.
Some say they are contrails (condensation) and some say they are chemtrails (chemicals).
Every day I see many of these trails–sometimes 3 or 4 at a time–it does cause one to wonder what they really are….

NaPoWriMo–Day 2–prompt:  constellations

This prompt inspired me to write this poem of childhood memories of clear night skies out in the country where we lived, looking up at all the stars and listening to dad tell us about the constellations and point out which ones we were seeing.

Sorry the picture is not very good.  Sigh….I wish I had a really good camera to capture some of the amazing sights I see!  I was so excited to see this moon and bright star last night (which I later found out was Venus) but quite disappointed that I could not take a good picture of it.   For more information and better picture visit  EarthSky.org
