ASTRONOMY

Astral bodies known to our forebears
seemed to move among the stars;
they were people in the sky
revered and named as gods
over man's fleeting existence -
never ending beings of heaven
on whose whims men lived or died;
mortals might even be raised up:
yearning for glory, man warred for gods.

Crystal would love this!

A 100 billion stars...
sun's light doesn't grace you
that quickly, 8 minutes pass until it
reaches your recognition.
Observations from ancients pin
new positions, calendars created
on stone monuments; the
most important energy source - a
young and brilliant goddess.

A star in my eyes gleamed
Since the moment I saw him
The night was still young
Right when he approached me
Oh I fell my universe unravelled
Not to mention, my head spinning with a question
"Oh God, why are you asking me?"
My reply was, "No, thanks. Dance with her."
Yet he still insisted, would you dance with me?

Wow!!! Great entries so far...well done guys.

Are there any more 'stars' out there? There's still time left for you to 'shine'. :)

Just checking the p&q clock.

Ok...I'm pretty sure the dead-line is now over. I have read the four entries over and over and...as no other 'stars' shot into this galaxy I can...without hesitating pronounce the winner. Can I first say that to win gains you no awards in my little random contests...they are only meant to get you writing forms that you have perhaps shied away from in the past so...in that respect you are all winner in my eyes. Acrostics, IMO, are not easy to write because, generally the flow is interrupted as you try to meet rules and, in this respect I think Michael was very clever in keeping all but one of his lines to a single word...some may feel it was a sentence but...even so, it was an extremely clever approach so...take a Bow Michael D Nalley. Thanks to all who entered...

Congratulation Michael!

Yes, nice one Michael.

Thanks to all of you
