Winter Sky by Robert Walton

Winter Sky
by
Robert Walton

Half a moon crouches
Behind cloud scarves
Like a fuzzy kitten,
Ready to pounce
On the evening star.

That star,
Oblivious to all
Taking place by its toes,
Cheerfully opens
The galaxy's treasure box
For all who
Look up.

Excellent descriptive poem, Robert. Thank you, I'm making a mental note to "look up" every chance I get!
