A little whimsy I wrote for the Earth Hour Astronomy and Poetry gig. Hope you remembered to turn your lights off.
In the moonlit dreamscape
Saturn jumps through rings
while Pluto weeps
In the moonlit dreamscape
Mercury darts between the trees
teasing Uranus remorselessly
In the moonlit dreamscape
with kissing pout Venus
demands Jupiter’s moons
In the moonlit dreamscape
Neptune pitches water
on Mars’ toy soldiers
In the moonlit dreamscape
Earth sighs, and with beseeching gaze
asks us to turn the lights off
