One may be awestruck when you see the above site; it is a sight to behold and I'm going to try to write a poem that won't plaigeurize Como's song. And spell check disagrees with my attempt at spelling that legal word, but oh, well, I'll look it up later...maybe.

Good luck! I'll be looking for your poesy.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh .... my heartbeat accelerated when watching the spectacular NASA picture of your link, dear Virginia.

Depth of Universe:
roaming the vast skies at night
awe expands within

Thank you for the inspiration for this haiku.

It was worth to dive today! Where are you, come out lady to play!

When people stop reading my poetry and ignore my challenges, I get in kind of a funk and don't write. My bad, I know...I'll post a new challenge today.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Heaven’s residents
waiting for the sun to rise;
I fail to count them.
